Deploy Website

Automatically detect the project type and start the appropriate development server.

Detection Logic

  1. Node.js web project

    • Look for package.json in the workspace root
    • Check if it contains a dev or start script
    • Execute npm run dev (or npm start if dev is not available)
  2. Static website

    • Look for .html files in the workspace (especially index.html)
    • Execute python3 -m http.server 8000 to serve static files

Workflow

# Step 1: Check if this is a Node.js project
if [ -f "package.json" ]; then
    # Check for dev script
    if grep -q '"dev"' package.json; then
        npm run dev
    elif grep -q '"start"' package.json; then
        npm start
    fi
# Step 2: Check for static HTML files
elif [ -f "index.html" ] || ls *.html 1> /dev/null 2>&1; then
    python3 -m http.server 8000
fi

Notes

  • The server will run in the background or as a subagent task
  • Default port for static server is 8000
  • For Node.js projects, the port depends on the project configuration
  • Make sure dependencies are installed (npm install) before running Node.js projects
