Wait for localhost to be ready from the command-line
Useful if you need a local server to be ready to accept requests before executing the next command.
I personally use this to wait for webpack-dev-server to be ready before launching Electron.
npm install --global wait-for-localhost-cli
$ wait-for-localhost --help
Usage
$ wait-for-localhost [port]
Options
--use-get Use the HTTP-method GET instead of HEAD to test if the server is ready.
--path Use a custom path. For example, /health for a health-check endpoint.
--status-codes Define status codes indicating the server is ready. [Default: 200]
Examples
$ wait-for-localhost 8080 && echo 'Server is ready'
$ wait-for-localhost 8080 --status-codes 200,201 && echo 'Server is ready'
