My team had to test an MFE repository locally. However, it's meant to be run from "dist" folder after build and package steps. I saw some recommendation online to use http-server (https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server). So, I gave it a try and I managed to get it running really quick. And I quickly found issues too. After installation, I just need to run:

http-server dist

Accessing from the client, browser threw CORS error. Fixing that was quick with --cors option.

http-server --cors dist

Then, for somewhat reason, it didn't send Content-Type response header, so the client got it wrong when parsing the js file. I had to add -e js to set the default Content-Type to application/javascript.

http-server -e js --cors dist

It's not too bad, but I'm looking for a little simpler solution and I had good experience with serve (https://www.npmjs.com/package/serve). With serve, after installation, I just need to run:

serve dist

Same case with http-server, I need to enable CORS by adding --cors option, so it becomes:

serve --cors dist

However, it automatically sends the right Content-Type response header.
