# wzrd

Super minimal browserify development server. Inspired by [beefy](http://npmjs.org/beefy) but with less magic

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/maxogden/wzrd.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/maxogden/wzrd)

## installation

```

npm install wzrd -g

```

**note** that you must have a copy of `browserify` installed as well. It can be either local (preferred) or global.

```

npm install browserify --save

```

## usage

```

wzrd app.js

```

This will start a local development server (default of `localhost:9966`) that serves all files in the current folder with the exception of `app.js`, which will be browserified instead. `wzrd` will spawn the command `browserify app.js` and send the output bundle back to the client.

If no `index.html` is present in the directory you run `wzrd` in, one will be generated for you that has a `` in it.

### mappings

You can also specify a mapping:

```

wzrd app.js:bundle.js

```

This means if a request to the server comes in for `bundle.js`, `wzrd` will run the command `browserify app.js` and serve that.

### multiple entries

```

wzrd app.js:bundle.js foo.js:bar.js baz.js

```

### https

```

wzrd app.js --https

```

this will start a local https server (by default `https://localhost:4443`) and generate a self signed SSL certificate. You will get a certificate error in your browser, but if you ignore the error the app should load.

### passing extra args to browserify

```

wzrd app.js -- -t brfs

```

anything after `--` will get passed directly to `browserify` as arguments. so the example above would spawn the command `browserify app.js -t brfs`

### pushstate server support

```

wzrd app.js --pushstate

```

if you want to leverage the html5 pushstate and support natural urls in your frontend application you can use the `--pushstate` flag. This flag will instruct the wzrd server to always return index.html for any file not found request from your server.
