cordova-serve

This module can be used to serve up a Cordova application in the browser. It has no command-line, but rather is intended to be called using the following API:

var cordovaServe = require('cordova-serve')();
cordovaServe.launchServer(opts);
cordovaServe.servePlatform(platform, opts);
cordovaServe.launchBrowser(ops);

launchServer()

var cordovaServe = require('cordova-serve')();
cordovaServe.launchServer(opts).then(function () {
    var server = cordovaServe.server;
    var root = cordovaServe.root;
    var port = cordovaServe.port;

    ...
}, function (error) {
    console.log('An error occurred: ' + error);
});

Launches a server with the specified options. Parameters:

• opts: Options, as described below.

Returns a promise that is fulfilled once the server has launched, or rejected if the server fails to launch. Once the promise is fulfilled, the following properties are available on the cordovaServe object:

• cordovaServe.serve: The Node http.Server instance.
• cordovaServe.root: The root that was specified, or cwd if none specified.
• cordovaServe.port: The port that was used (could be the requested port, the default port, or some incremented value if the chosen port was in use).

servePlatform()

var cordovaServe = require('cordova-serve')();
cordovaServe.servePlatform(platform, opts).then(function () {
    var server = cordovaServe.server;
    var port = cordovaServe.port;
    var projectRoot = cordovaServe.projectRoot;
    var platformRoot = cordovaServe.root;

    ...
}, function (error) {
    console.log('An error occurred: ' + error);
});

Launches a server that serves up any Cordova platform (e.g. browser, android etc) from the current project. Parameters:

• opts: Options, as described below. Note that for servePlatform(), the root value should be a Cordova project’s root folder, or any folder within it - servePlatform() will replace it with the platform’s www_dir folder. If this value is not specified, the cwd will be used.

Returns a promise that is fulfilled once the server has launched, or rejected if the server fails to launch. Once the promise is fulfilled, the following properties are available on the cordovaServe object:

• cordovaServe.serve: The Node http.Server instance.
• cordovaServe.root: The requested platform’s www folder.
• cordovaServe.projectRoot: The root folder of the Cordova project.
• cordovaServe.port: The port that was used (could be the requested port, the default port, or some incremented value if the chosen port was in use).

launchBrowser()

var cordovaServe = require('cordova-serve')();
cordovaServe.launchBrowser(opts).then(function (stdout) {
    console.log('Browser was launched successfully: ' + stdout);
}, function (error) {
    console.log('An error occurred: ' + error);
});

Launches a browser window pointing to the specified URL. The single parameter is an options object that supports the following values (both optional):

• url: The URL to open in the browser.
• target: The name of the browser to launch. Can be any of the following: chrome, chromium, firefox, ie, opera, safari. Defaults to chrome if no browser is specified.

Returns a promise that is fulfilled once the browser has been launched, or rejected if an error occurs.

The opts Options Object

The opts object passed to launchServer() and servePlatform() supports the following values (all optional):

• root: The file path on the local file system that is used as the root for the server, for default mapping of URL path to local file system path.
  
• port: The port for the server. Note that if this port is already in use, it will be incremented until a free port is found.
• router: An ExpressJS router. If provided, this will be attached before default static handling.
• noLogOutput: If true, turns off all log output.
• noServerInfo: If true, cordova-serve won’t output Static file server running on... message.
• events: An EventEmitter to use for logging. If provided, logging will be output using events.emit('log', msg). If not provided, console.log() will be used. Note that nothing will be output in either case if noLogOutput is true.
