I am new to express. Basically my question is very simple. I want to serve files like / css javascript from one public directory.
layout.hbs
<html>
<head>
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
{{{body}}}
</body>
</html>
router.js -> I have three routes that point to one index.hbs
router.get("/", function(req,res){
res.render("index.hbs");
})
router.get("/articles", function(req,res){
res.render("index.hbs");
})
router.get("/articles/show/:id", function(req,res){
res.render("index.hbs");
})
Now the problem is when I run this address:
curl "http://localhost:3000/"
http://localhost:3000/js/app
http://localhost:3000/css/style.css
----------------------------------------------
curl "http://localhost:3000/articles"
http://localhost:3000/articles/js/app
http://localhost:3000/articles/css/style.css
----------------------------------------------
curl "http://localhost:3000/show/1"
http://localhost:3000/show/1/js/app
http://localhost:3000/show/1/css/style.css
note that the path of / css and / js changes according to UrlRequest. How to prevent this?
I use express and handlebars and already installed my static file
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public');
