A simple server to do client-side scripting

node-server.js

#!/usr/bin/env node
var express = require('/usr/local/lib/node_modules/express');
var app = express.createServer();

// get the dir from the command line
const DIR = process.argv[2] || __dirname;
const PORT = process.argv[3] || 4242;

// a little bit of configuration...
app.configure(function() {
    app.use(express.methodOverride());
    app.use(express.bodyParser());
    app.use(app.router);
});

app.configure('development', function () {
    app.use(express.static(DIR));
    app.use(express.errorHandler({
	dumpExceptions: true, 
	showStack: true 
    }));
});

// start the server
app.listen(PORT);
console.log('Server startup, with basedir "' + DIR + '" on port ' + PORT + '.');
