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

you can render the page in express more easily

 var app   = require('express')();    
    app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
    app.set('view engine', 'jade');
 
    app.get('/signup',function(req,res){      
    res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname,'/signup.html'));
    });

so if u request like http://127.0.0.1:8080/signup that it will render signup.html page under views folder.
