Gulp + Superstatic

readme.md

If you work on SPAs or any kind of static site, try Superstatic as a replacement for using python -m SimpleHTTPServer or Apache, or Anvil or whatever. It's really clean and user-friendly and it's sitting on top of Express, so it's easy to extend. Plus, since Gulp is awesome, it's easy to integrate Superstatic into your workflow. This is basically how I work on all my SPAs these days.

gulp-superstatic.js

var
  gulp = require( 'gulp' ),
  superstatic = require( 'superstatic' );
  
gulp.task( 'server', function() {
  
  var server = superstatic({
    clean_urls: true,
    routes: {
      '/**': 'index.html',
      '/src/**/*': '/src/'
    }
  });
  
  server.listen( function() {
    console.log( 'Server running on port ' + server.port );
  });
  
});

it doesn't work for me:
