Installing ---------- [](#installing) ### Global install [](#global-install) ``` composer global require horizom/dev-server ``` If not yet, you must add **`~/.composer/vendor/bin`** to `$PATH`. Append the following statement to `~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc` or what not. ``` export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH" ``` ### Local install only for development environment [](#local-install-only-for-development-environment) ``` composer require --dev horizom/dev-server ``` Use **`vendor/bin/horizom-serve`** as the execution path. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Quick start [](#quick-start) ``` horizom-serve -S localhost -s localhost -t public ``` 2 servers will start with the directory `public` as the document root: - `http://localhost:8000` - `https://localhost:44300` Servers start with first unoccupied port within range depending on a scheme. SchemeDefaultRange`HTTP`80008000-8099`HTTPS`4430044300-44399### Customize ports [](#customize-ports) ``` horizom-serve -S localhost:8080 -s localhost:4000 -t public ``` 2 servers will start with the directory `public` as the document root: - `http://localhost:8080` - `https://localhost:4000` ### Command Reference [](#command-reference) ``` mpyw@localhost:~$ horizom-serve -h Usage: horizom-serve Example: horizom-serve -S localhost:8000 -s localhost:44300 [Required] -S ":" of an HTTP server. Multiple arguments can be accepted. -s ":" of an HTTPS server. Multiple arguments can be accepted. [Optional] -n The number of PHP built-in server clusters, from 1 to 20. Default is 10. -t Path for the document root. Default is the current directory. -r Path for the router script. Default is empty. -c Path for the PEM-encoded certificate. Default is "/Users/username/.composer/vendor/horizom/dev-server/certificate.pem". Restrictions: - The option -s is only supported on PHP 5.6.0 or later. - Access logs will not be displayed on Windows. username@localhost:~$ ``` Note for Windows users ---------------------- [](#note-for-windows-users) Unfortunately, `cmd.exe` has no option to run via shebang `#!/usr/bin/env php`, so you need to create the following batch file in the proper directory. ### For Standalone PHP [](#for-standalone-php) ``` @echo OFF "C:\php\php.exe" "%HOMEPATH%\.composer\vendor\horizom\dev-server\horizom-serve" %* ``` ### For XAMPP [](#for-xampp) ``` @echo OFF "C:\xampp\php\php.exe" "%HOMEPATH%\.composer\vendor\horizom\dev-server\horizom-serve" %* ``` License ------- [](#license) [MIT license](LICENSE) ### Health Score 22 — LowBetter than 22% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity10 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity42 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
