Auto Running HTML files in server with for custom folder

We use static-server npm package to server html files.

By simply typing static-server on the playground terminal you can iniate the http server, by doing this the static server takes the defualt arguments i.e. port = 3000 and file = index.html

But, in codedamn playgrounds only the ports 1337 and 1338 are accessbile by users, so you have to define the port using the -p or --port flag

Also to disable the static server from showing cached response we add the flag --no-cache

So now to start the http server at a different html page you can make use of the flag -i or --index followed by the file location

So your complete command would be

static-server -p 1337 --no-cache --index folderName/filename.html

You can add the same line in your .cdmrc file as well

tabs: ['folderName/filename.html']
terminal-one: static-server -p 1337 --no-cache --index folderName/filename.html

If you want to know more about how to use our .cdmrc file you can read our blogpost

Hope this helps you
