the hierarchy of my files looks something like:
BACKEND(COMPLETE)
->Routers
->userrouter.js
->login.html
I wanted the access of my login.html file in userrouter.js for which I copied the Path(absolute) of the login.html file.
But I am getting this error:
path must be absolute or specify root to res.sendFile()
My Code:
function loginUser(req,res)
{
res.sendFile('C:\Users\ASUS\Desktop\backend(complete)\login.html');
res.end();
}
Try modifying C:\Users\ASUS\Desktop\backend(complete)\login.html to C:/\Users/\ASUS/\Desktop/\backend(complete)/\login.html
Try using path (path.join) npm package which Node provides out of the box to avoid this confusion irrespective of the OS.
Try the Npm package path and use path.join(["yourpath", "here") for cross system compatibility. Note that every part between slashes needs to be its own entry in the array.
