Question

I want to create a server and I want to get the script, CSS and the library.

I can get the file, but I don’t know how to get a directory:

app.get('/app.js', function(req, res) {
    fs.readFile(__dirname + '/app.js', 'utf8', function(err, text){
        res.end(text);
    });
});

I want to get directory like above.

How can I do this?

If you are looking for function to read a directory fs.readDir should do the job for you. If you are looking for serving some static files it is better you use some framework such as “connect” (http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/static.html), instead of writing all by yourself.

May you share what problem are you trying to solve? Someone can give you a much more precise answer in that case.

Please note I am also newbie to node.
