There is a new project derived from this one: nodeSpeed IDE.
Since I’m not able to actively maintain this project, I encourage everyone interested to use and support the new one.
Brackets Server is a server for providing hosted version of the popular code editor Brackets. The code editor can be loaded directly in the web browser and it doesn’t require additional installations or browser extensions. Brackets works just like the desktop version, except that all projects and files reside on the server instead of the local file system.
The server may be useful for remote development, real-time changes and testing, development form thin clients or devices such as tablets, or it could be used in conjunction with other web applications for collaboration.
To check the current verion of Brackets source used in the server, please see CHANGELOG.
Install from npm:
$ npm install brackets -g
$ brackets --port 80 --proj-dir /var/projects --supp-dir /var/brackets
IMPORTANT: Make sure projects directory exists.
IMPORTANT: Brackets Server cannot work simultaneously on the same machine with the desktop Brackets because of port conflict in one of the build-in modules. The error thrown is: "Error: listen EADDRINUSE". To workaround this problem if you ever need to use bouth simultaneously, run Brackets Server in Docker container.
All arguments are optional.
| Short Option | Long Option | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
-p <prot> |
--port |
6800 |
TCP port on which Brackets server is listening. |
-j <dir> |
--proj-dir |
~/Projects |
Root directory for projects. Directories above this root cannot be accessed. |
-s <dir> |
--supp-dir |
~/.brackets-srv |
Root directory for Brackets supporting files such as user extensions, configurations and state persistence. |
-d |
--user-domains |
false |
Allows Node domains to be loaded from user extensions. |
NOTE: Some Brackets extensions require external Node.js process, called node domain. Node domains run on the server, thereby allowing arbitrary code to be executed on the server through custom extensions. Since this imposes very serious security and stability risks, Brackets Server will not load nor execute domains from user extensions, unless -d option is specified.
Example with Express:
var path = require("path"),
http = require("http"),
express = require("express"),
brackets = require("brackets"),
app = express(),
server = http.createServer(app);
app.get("/", function (req, res) {
res.send("Hello World");
});
var bracketsOpts = {
projectsDir: path.join(__dirname, ".."),
supportDir: path.join(__dirname, "..", "/support")
};
brackets(server, bracketsOpts);
server.listen(3000);
console.log("Your application is availble at http://localhost:3000");
console.log("You can access Brackets on http://localhost:3000/brackets/");NOTE: The default values for projectsDir and supportDir are different when Brackets Server is initiated from code. They are respectively ./projects and ./brackets, relative to the current working directory.
Options:
| Option | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| httpRoot | /brackets |
Defines the root HTTP endpoint for Brackets Server (http://yourdomain.com/brackets). |
| projectsDir | ./projects |
Root directory for projects. Directories above this root cannot be accessed. |
| supportDir | ./brackets |
Root directory for Brackets supporting files such as user extensions, configurations and state persistence. |
| allowUserDomains | false |
Allows Node domains to be loaded from user extensions. |
