Smallweb 0.9 - Improved Routing

Updated Routing

After a lot of feedback shared by community, the routing was rethinked from the ground up. Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts!

Here is what your smallweb root folder (which defaults to ~/smallweb) should now look like:

~/smallweb/
├── localhost
│   ├── example
│   │   └── main.ts
│   └── react
│       └── main.ts
├── pomdtr.me
│   └── www
│       └── main.ts
└── smallweb.run
    ├── www
    │   └── main.ts
    ├── assets
    │   └── main.ts
    └── readme
        └── main.ts

The first level of subfolder is the apex domain, and the second one is the subdomain.

• https://assets.smallweb.run will be routed to ~/smallweb/smallweb.run/assets/
• react.localhost will be routed to ~/smallweb/localhost/react/

Request targeting the apex domain will be automatically redirected to the www subdomain.

You can read more about the design process in the dedicated blog post.

smallweb list

The smallweb dump command was renamed to smallweb list.

Smallweb list supports both human and machine readable output (with a --json flag).

You can filter by domain using the --domain flag.

smallweb open

The smallweb open command can now open smallweb websites, even when your current directory is not the root of a smallweb app.

Just pass the app name to the command:

smallweb open react.localhost

The command provides completions, make sure to set them properly. You can get shell specific instructions using the smallweb help completion command.
