Can you suggest a Node.js/JavaScript project scaffolding generator tool?
I am familiar with Yeoman but the project appears dead. There are no replies to recent comments and the last release was a year ago. I would prefer to not use a dead/dying project as the basis for a new work. Does anyone have any suggestions?

npx http-server (keep the "r" at the end, it's more up-to-date than the http-serve package)

What is the simplest way to run an index.html file inside a server.js file using node.js
I mean, there are ones, like https://github.com/http-party/http-server you can inspect that code, but basically, it’s a job an nginx can do without any JS.

Looking to host React Static Application on AWS S3 question on dependencies
Does the website work correctly when run locally without a server? If so, then it should be fine to be compiled and deployed. You can always check ahead of time by building your website and then running it with a CLI like http-server to replicate what S3 will do.

Opened my angular project after a week to find it like that? (All the stuff i built doesn't appear anymore). Any Idea why ? (Note: in the extensions the "Angular Language Service" seems to have had an update). Opening from Chrome shows the html but not the rest of the code.
You can use https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server but you need to build your app before with ng build then serve the generated bundle (be careful to environment file replacement in angular.json)
- What is the Go equivalent of Node http-server?
- When they run the http-server command in the codespace, is it an alias in the .bashrc file that executes something along the lines of 'sudo systemctl start apache2' after they configured the apache2 server? Or is there a much simpler aproach that I didn't take into consideration?

Let’s go ahead and setup our http-server, for this we will be using http-server npm package to help us with this, this is useful for static sites where we do not want to setup a node server manually.
What are some alternatives?

vtop - Wow such top. So stats. More better than regular top.
Live Server - A simple development http server with live reload capability.
bcat - A pipe to browser utility
alex - Catch insensitive, inconsiderate writing
