server.js
const express = require ("express");
const fs = require("fs");
const app = express();
app.listen(4444);
//static file handling
app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/folder"))
app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/f2"))
//get req -> app.get()
app.get("/",(req, res)=>{
fs.readFile("index.html","utf-8",(err,data)=>{
if(err) console.log(err);
else res.end(data);
})
//res.sendFile(__dirname + "/index.html")
});
Question is that why does this realtive path is working fine, but absolute path is not wroking for static file handling in express js in node js?`
