Never touch your local /etc/hosts file in OS X again

To setup your computer to work with *.test domains, e.g. project.test, awesome.test and so on, without having to add to your hosts file each time.

Requirements

Homebrew
Mountain Lion -> High Sierra

Install

Install `dnsmasq` and configure for *.dev.local domains

$ brew install dnsmasq
$ vim /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf

Reload configuration and clear cache

# Copy the daemon configuration file into place.
$ sudo cp $(brew list dnsmasq | grep /homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist$) /Library/LaunchDaemons/

$ sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist

Getting box metrics

elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent
