H5X turns a regular HTML file into a shell script or tiny webapp with all the power of NodeJS.

Just install:

npm i -g sbacic/h5x

And run it:

h5x -g cli && h5x cli.html

Need a server? Just run:

h5x -g server && h5x server.html

You can change how h5x treats your html by setting attributes on your script tag. Here's a list:

• server (boolean)

Whether to run in server or CLI mode. If set to true, a simple connect server is started before calling your code. You can access this server via the app variable. You can generate an example/blueprint by running h5x -g server.

• browser (boolean)

Opens the html file in your preferred browser.

• port(string)

A custom port for your tiny server. The default is set to 8000, so only change this if you have some other service already using that port.

• dependencies (string)

A string listing all the dependencies you want to load. These dependencies are loaded before your code is run. Example: dependencies="marked,[email protected]".

H5x parses your HTML, looking for a script tag with a text/h5x type. Then it runs the code inside the tag. Only the first match is run, the rest are ignored.

H5x provides you with two variables to get you started: app for servers and cliargs for command line arguments passed to your function.
