To run HTML file using Node.js, we call readFile to read the file and http module.
For instance, we write below code and save index.js.
Note: Keep index.html file in same path.
const http = require("http");
const fs = require("fs");
const PORT = 8080;
fs.readFile("./index.html", (err, html) => {
if (err) throw err;
http
.createServer((request, response) => {
response.writeHeader(200, { "Content-Type": "text/html" });
response.write(html);
response.end();
})
.listen(PORT);
}); To call readFile to read index.html.
And then we serve it by call http.createServer to start a web server with a callback that calls write with the html file content to serve that.
Then run node index.js then you will get data in http://localhost:8080/
