I have a basic Node.js app that I am trying to get off the ground using the Express framework. I have a views folder where I have an index.html file. But I receive the following error when loading the web page:

Error: Cannot find module 'html'

Below is my code.

var express = require('express');
var app = express.createServer();

app.use(express.staticProvider(__dirname + '/public'));

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.render('index.html');
});

app.listen(8080, '127.0.0.1')

What am I missing here?

    You can have jade include a plain HTML page:

    in views/index.jade

    include plain.html

    in views/plain.html

    <!DOCTYPE html>
...

    and app.js can still just render jade:

    res.render(index)
