I have this inside controllers folder:

//controler.js
exports.serve_sitemap = (req, res) => {
  res.sendFile("../../sitemap.xml");
  // or
  // res.send(__dirname + "./sitemap.xml")
  // But neither of these work
};

This exported function is imported in a file inside the routes directory

const { serve_sitemap } = require('../controllers/indexer')

var router = require('express').Router()

router.get("/sitemap", serve_sitemap)

module.exports = router

Currently I am getting a 404 error when I try to get the sitmap at localhost:3000/sitemap

Folder Structure:

Before, I had the same thing in index.js which is the entry point.

app.get("/sitemap", (req, res) => {
   res.sendFile(__dirname + "/sitemap.xml");
});

This was working perfectly, until I decided to restructure the project

• How can I refer to the sitemap.xml file that is located in the root directory from a file that is in a sub-directory when using res.send()?
• How can I get the absolute path to the root of the project directory, then I can append the file name to the path. This can solve the issse

I maybe missing something obvious. In that case, please help me out.

Any suggestion gratefully accepted. Thanks in advance
