I've built a small util using the above,. It is deno-installed. It uses a small cfg file that it builds when not found. A cfg-per-project. In any project just enter build on the command line. in /.vscode/dev.json/

{
   "simple": {
      "TargetFolder": "",
      "Port": 80
   },
   "build": {
      "Out": "dist",
      "FileName": "kvValueCodec.js",
      "Entry": [
         "./src/mod.ts"
      ],
      "Minify": false
   }
}

{
   "simple": {
      "TargetFolder": "",
      "Port": 80
   },
   "build": {
      "Out": "dist",
      "FileName": "kvValueCodec.js",
      "Entry": [
         "./src/mod.ts"
      ],
      "Minify": false
   }
}

I have many installed dev tools that use this cfg. I like to keep this in /.vscode folder. All my tools share this dev.json file. simple above is a small dev server that auto launches the browser. If you enter simple dist 8080 the above dev.json will be auto changed to:

   "simple": {
      "TargetFolder": "./dist",
      "Port": 8080
   },

   "simple": {
      "TargetFolder": "./dist",
      "Port": 8080
   },

so that any further use you will simply enter simple
