How to run a site on node.js?

Question

JavaScript

Started the server on node express.js:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var path = require('path');

//
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + '/site/index.html'));
});

app.listen(80);

Everything seems to work, but JavaScript scripts on the page do not run and CSS styles are not applied.
Why does this happen and how to cure it?
Maybe you need to do it not through res.sendFile?

Answer 1

Register where the styles are
https://expressjs.com/ru/starter/static-files.html

app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/dist'))
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/node_modules'))

Answer 2

The problem is that you are not distributing statics, think about how js / css will be loaded if they are not loaded from the server.

Answer 3

If the index.html page itself loads (text is displayed, etc.), then you probably just specified the wrong path to the css and js files.
