Either you use a framework or you write your own server with nodejs.
A simple fileserver may look like this:
import * as http from 'http';
import * as url from 'url';
import * as fs from 'fs';
import * as path from 'path';
var mimeTypes = {
"html": "text/html",
"jpeg": "image/jpeg",
"jpg": "image/jpeg",
"png": "image/png",
"js": "text/javascript",
"css": "text/css"};
http.createServer((request, response)=>{
var pathname = url.parse(request.url).pathname;
var filename : string;
if(pathname === "/"){
filename = "index.html";
}
else
filename = path.join(process.cwd(), pathname);
try{
fs.accessSync(filename, fs.F_OK);
var fileStream = fs.createReadStream(filename);
var mimeType = mimeTypes[path.extname(filename).split(".")[1]];
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type':mimeType});
fileStream.pipe(response);
}
catch(e) {
console.log('File not exists: ' + filename);
response.writeHead(404, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
response.write('404 Not Found\n');
response.end();
return;
}
return;
}
}).listen(5000);
