nodejs send html file to client

Question

I use this function to send html file to client, but in client I get nothing (blank page) without error. Something I wrong?, please help?

var express = require(\         


        

Answer 1

Try your code like this:

var app = express();
app.get('/test', function(req, res) {
    res.sendFile('views/test.html', {root: __dirname })
});

1. Use res.sendFile instead of reading the file manually so express can handle setting the content-type properly for you.

2. You don't need the app.engine line, as that is handled internally by express.
