Node.js quick file server (static files over HTTP)

fileserver, http, node.js

Solution

A good ready-to-use tool option could be http-server:

npx http-server -o /path/to/static/content

Being a NPM package, can also installed

npm install http-server -g
http-server -o /path/to/static/content

Problem

Is there Node.js ready-to-use tool (installed with `npm`), that would help me expose folder content as file server over HTTP. Example, if I have ``` D:\Folder\file.zip D:\Folder\file2.html D:\Folder\folder\file-in-folder.jpg ``` Then starting in `D:\Folder\` `node node-file-server.js` I could access file via ``` http://hostname/file.zip http://hostname/file2.html http://hostname/folder/file-in-folder.jpg ``` Why is my node static file server dropping requests? reference some mystical standard node.js static file server If there's no such tool, what framework should I use?
