http Module

The http module provides functions to work with the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

To import the http module, use the import keyword:

import { serve, ... } from 'http';

Functions

serve({}, func)

Starts an HTTP server with the given function to handle requests and an optional configuration object.

The default config looks like this:

{
    address: 'http://127.0.0.1:8080',
    log: true
}

The func function only takes one argument: the req object.

This object looks like this:

{
    url: 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/',
    method: 'GET',
    headers: [] // list of headers
}

You can also close this server by going to <server-address>/close-vanadin-server where <server-address> is the address of the server.
