servr (version 0.32)

make: Serve files under a directory based on GNU Make

Description

You can define how and when to rebuild files (such as R Markdown files) using Make rules, e.g. a rule _posts/%.md: _source/%.Rmd with a command to build .Rmd to .md will be executed if and only if foo.Rmd is newer than foo.md. The exit status of the command make -q will decide whether to rebuild files: rebuilding occurs only when the exit code is not 0. When an HTML file has been rebuilt, it will be automatically refreshed in the web browser.

Usage

make(dir = ".", ...)

Arguments

dir

The root directory to serve.

...

Server configurations passed to server_config().

Examples

Run this code
# some built-in examples (if you are not familiar with make, you can take a
# look at the Makefile of each example)
servr::serve_example("make1", servr::make)
servr::serve_example("make2", servr::make)
