{"id":14574,"library":"fis3-command-server","title":"FIS3 Server Command","description":"This package, `fis3-command-server`, provides server-related commands for the FIS3 front-end engineering build system. FIS3 is a comprehensive toolkit designed to address common challenges in front-end development, including performance optimization, asynchronous and synchronous resource loading, on-demand loading, preloading, dependency management, module merging, embedding, modular development, automation, and code deployment. The `fis3-command-server` package, currently at version 0.0.9, facilitates running a local development server, which is a core feature for testing and previewing projects built with FIS3. Given that the main FIS3 project has not seen active development in several years (last significant update around 2017) and this package's extremely low version and similarly old activity on GitHub, it is considered abandoned. There is no ongoing release cadence.","status":"abandoned","version":"0.0.9","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/fex-team/fis3-command-server","tags":["javascript","fis3","server"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install fis3-command-server","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add fis3-command-server","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add fis3-command-server","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[{"reason":"This package is a command-line plugin for the FIS3 build system, and `fis3` itself is required for its functionality.","package":"fis3","optional":false},{"reason":"This module typically acts as the default server backend when running `fis3 server` commands.","package":"fis3-server-node","optional":true}],"imports":[],"quickstart":{"code":"npm install -g fis3\nnpm install -g fis3-command-server\nmkdir my-fis-project\ncd my-fis-project\nfis3 init\n# Add some static files (e.g., index.html) to the project root\nfis3 release\nfis3 server start --type node\n# Open your browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080 (or the address shown in the console)","lang":"bash","description":"Demonstrates the installation of `fis3` and `fis3-command-server`, initializing a new FIS3 project, releasing assets, and starting the local development server."},"warnings":[{"fix":"Migrate to a modern, actively maintained front-end build tool or development server (e.g., Vite, Webpack Dev Server, Parcel, http-server).","message":"The entire FIS3 ecosystem, including `fis3-command-server`, is considered abandoned.
