Nice, are you planning on automatically putting them on library projects without icons?

It seems to me that games and apps don’t need a default icon because icons made from screenshots are better, but library projects often have nothing to show visually and it would be handy to have a default icon for them.

@UberGoober Yes, I expect so. I think I’d like to enforce user icons for app & game projects but libraries often don’t have anything worth using as an icon.

I’ve made various improvements in this version.

  • The API is now far easier to use.
  • WebSockets are now supported
  • Server-side Lua embedded in HTML files are also supported
  • Various improvements to overall functionality.

Basic usage to serve a static site from a folder in Codea’s documents folder is:

function setup()
    WebServer(asset.documents.my_site)
end

This serves all content in the my_site folder at port 80 (default for browsers).

WebServer.zip contains the slimmed-down Library project that provides full documentation when connected to from a browser!

WebServerDemo.zip contains a more comprehensive example of the supported features (as well as the documentation).

Also available on WebRepo!
