Problem
The current method of hosting html within a frame is limited to direct string incorporation (components.html()) or a pre existing external site (components.iframe()). It would be beneficial if it were possible to expose a folder to be hosted as a full site, for example to preview a site generated based on decisions in the app.
In my usecase I'd like to serve a mkdocs site before persisting to S3/Cloudfront.
Solution
MVP: What's the smallest possible solution that would get 80% of the problem out of the way?
Add a component.localserve(serve_root) function that exposes the folder as a website.
Possible additions: What are other things that could be added to the MVP over time to make it better?
Timeout to terminate serving of site after time elapsed (so only useful for preview)
Preferred solution: If you don't like the MVP above, tell us why, and what you'd like done instead.
NA
