Package Exports

gulp-serve-iis-express

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (gulp-serve-iis-express) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

gulp-serve-iis-express

IIS Express server plugin for gulp. This repository is forked off of gulp-iis-express (not actively maintained) with necessary fixes and improvements.

Install

Install gulp-serve-iis-express as a development dependency:

npm install gulp-serve-iis-express --save-dev

Usage

Create a new task using gulp-serve-iis-express, which might look like below:

'use strict';

var gulp = require('gulp');
var iisexpress = require('gulp-serve-iis-express');

gulp.task('serve:site', function() {
    var configPath = path.join(__dirname, '..\\.vs\\config\\applicationHost.config');

    iisexpress({
        siteNames: ['site'],
        configFile: configPath
    });
});

Advanced Usage

Parameters

There are multiple parameters you can supply the object passed into the gulp-serve-iis-express variable:

configFile // Required (String) path to the config file.
siteNames // Required (String Array) array of site names.
appPath // Optional (String) application folder path.
port // Optional (Number) port number to serve the application. Defaults to 8080.

Additional Functionality

You can also call an additional function to launch the browser with a specified url after the server has been started. FYI, this is a work in progress currently and may not function correctly at the moment.

iisexpress.launchBrowser({
    startUrl: 'localhost:3000',
    browser: 'chrome',
    siteFile: 'index.html'
});
