VistasHow to point to Html folder from path module Node Js
I want to send html file as response using express so to do that I need to give the position or path of index.html file.
so this is my file structure -
MyWebsite
Html
index.html
Css
index.css
Js
index.js
if you still not understanding the file structure this the image of file structure :
so in my JavaScript I have written something like this :
import express from 'express';
import path from 'path';
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = path.dirname(__filename);
const app = express();
const port = process.env.port || 8080;
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
const htmlFile = path.join(__dirname, '/index.html');
res.sendFile(htmlFile)
});
app.listen(port);
giving error -
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'F:\Websites\MyWebsite\js\index.html'
It is not working!. I am unable to give the path or folder name! how can I get the index.html folder's path
any help will be appreciated!

its simple you have set back-word so server can find you index.html change your code to
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
const htmlFile = path.join(__dirname, '/index.html');
res.sendFile(htmlFile)
});
new Code Will Be
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
const htmlFile = path.join(__dirname, '../html/index.html');
res.sendFile(htmlFile)
});
i hope its work for you its work for me

you can use 'path' module to move one directory back.
path.join(__filename, '..', 'html', 'index.html')
this way you will avoid slashes and eliminate problems while running your app in different operating systems.
