Development and Testing Web Client Application

This is a noob question.

I am developing a web (client-side) application. I have a development directory, which contains the web stuff: HTML, CSS, and JS files.

Now I would like to test it. I am running apache which uses /var/www as the default web directory. I can copy my development directory as a whole to /var/www and test the application in the browser.

Another option is to configure apache to map /my-app directly to my development directory ~/dev/my-app.

Which option would you prefer ?

The usual way is to add a soft link in your /var/www directory towards your dev (or build) directory. So you don't have to change apache settings and you let the code you're making in your home directory.

(of course, this is for a development computer, not visible from internet)
