How to serve an image using nodejs

Question

I have a logo that is residing at the public/images/logo.gif. Here is my nodejs code.

http.createServer(function(req, res){
  res.writeHead(200,          


        

Answer 1

This method works for me, it's not dynamic but straight to the point:

const fs      = require('fs');
const express = require('express');
const app     = express();

app.get( '/logo.gif', function( req, res ) {

  fs.readFile( 'logo.gif', function( err, data ) {

    if ( err ) {

      console.log( err );
      return;
    }

    res.write( data );
    return res.end();
  });

});

app.listen( 80 );
