Create and manage virtual domains on the fly for easier local development.
Install vidos with npm
npm install -g vidos
vidos (short for virtual domains) allows you to create/manage server blocks (otherwise known as virtual domains) on the fly with next to no setup required; allowing you to route any domain to any IP.
While this could be utilized for a variety of things, the primary intention is to
assist in local web development. Instead of needing to use some form of a toggle or enviornment variable
to switch between 127.0.0.1 and your prod domain, you can instead let vidos map your
prod domain to your localhost; allowing you to focus more on a production equivalent
environment, and less on making sure all your links and callbacks are pointing
to the right domain.
Behind the scenes, vidos creates an entry in your hosts file for your domain, and a config file for mapping it through nginx. If you don't have nginx already, vidos can download and manage a copy for you.
