Apply static middleware to serve index.html file without any routes.
Your solution must listen on the port number supplied by process.argv[2].
The index.html file is provided and usable via the path supplied by process.argv[3]. However, you can use your own file with this content:
<html>
<head>
<title>expressworks</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/main.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<p>I am red!</p>
</body>
</html>This is how you can call static middleware:
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));For this exercise expressworks will pass you the path:
app.use(express.static(process.argv[3]||path.join(__dirname, 'public')));var express = require('express')
var path = require("path")
var app = express()
app.use(express.static(process.argv[3]));
app.listen(process.argv[2])var path = require('path')
var express = require('express')
var app = express()
app.use(express.static(process.argv[3]||path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.listen(process.argv[2])
