Question

So I have my app at http://localhost:8080/

How can I have http://localhost:8080/subpage ? Because it seems like any page that hits :8080 pulls the server.js

thanks!

** edit – here’s what worked for me (thanks to stewe’s answer) **

var app = require('http').createServer(createServer);
var fs = require('fs'); 
var url = require('url');

function createServer(req, res) {
    var path = url.parse(req.url).pathname;
    var fsCallback = function(error, data) {
        if(error) throw error;

        res.writeHead(200);
        res.write(data);
        res.end();
    }

    switch(path) {
        case '/subpage':
            doc = fs.readFile(__dirname + '/subpage.html', fsCallback);
        break;
        default:
            doc = fs.readFile(__dirname + '/index.html', fsCallback);
        break;
    }
}

app.listen(8080);

Here is a start:

var http=require('http');
var url=require('url');

var server=http.createServer(function(req,res){
    var pathname=url.parse(req.url).pathname;
    switch(pathname){
        case '/subpage':
            res.end('subpage');
        break;
        default:
            res.end('default');
        break;
    }

}).listen(8080);
