Node rendered HTML file not finding relative path Scripts

Question

New to node, and have it running pulling in an HTML page using Express and EJS

app.set(\'views\', __dirname + \'/views\');
app.engine(\'html\', require(\'ejs         


        

Answer 1

you should configure express to server static files, for example, put all the static files under a directory called 'public'

app.configure(function () {
    app.use(express.cookieParser());
    app.use(express.bodyParser());
    app.use('/public', express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
    app.use(app.router);    
});

then in your html:

    <script src="/public/js/libs/jquery.js"></script>
