Load CSS and JS Files in Express

Question

Let's say I have a node.js with Express project with the following directory:

server.js
package.json
views
   index.ejs
   css
      style.css
   js
      script.js
   video
      vid.mp4
   img
      bg.png

When I try to run this project my index.ejs shows up, but the rest of the files in the views folder don't show up. How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Use static() method in express

app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/views'));
