Question

I’m trying to serve some static file with a nicer url endpoints.

For example, /home will serve /public/home.html.

I can probably use res.sendfile() in the route config, but sendfile will not cache the file output in production mode so I am not too sure if this is a good solution.

How do I set routes to act like an alias to a html file?

Answer 1

Try this.

var express = require('express');
var app =express.createServer();
// ------
app.get('/home', function(req,res){
 res.sendfile(__dirname + '/public/home.html');
});
