Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : node-beefy Version : 2.1.8 Upstream Author : Chris Dickinson <ad...@neversaw.us> * URL : https://notabug.org/themusicgod1/beefy * License : Expat/MIT Programming Lang: javascript Description : a local development server designed to work with browserify
beefy can live reload your browser when your code changes (if you want). It works with whatever version of browserify or watchify; globally installed or locally installed to node_modules/. It will spit compile errors out into the browser so you don't have that 1-2 seconds of cognitive dissonance and profound ennui that follows refreshing the page only to get a blank screen. It will spit out a default index.html for missing routes so you don't need to even muck about with HTML to get started serves up static files with grace and aplomb (and also appropriate mimetypes). It is designed to fall away gracefully, as your project gets bigger. node-beefy is a building prerequisite of eslint ( #743404 ).
