Import jquery files to html file in nodejs

Question

My index.html file is like shown below

  <html>
   <body>

    <script src="public/jquery-latest-min.js"></script>
     /*But this script file is not importing and creating error */        

   </body>
 </html>

app.js code is

    var express = require('express'),
    app = express(),
    server = require('http').createServer(app),
    io = require('socket.io').listen(server);
    server.listen(3000);

     app.get('/',function(req, res){
         res.sendfile(__dirname + '/index.html');
     });

How can the index.html file can serve the jquery file located in public folder.

And my project structure is:

             |-index.html
             |-app.js
             |-public/jquery-latest-min.js

The following can be used to serve static files such as javascript files or CSS files.

var server = express(); // better instead
server.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

I just added the line server.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public')); but not working

Yes so it should work now. Note that i have used a different variable for express() than yours. Change it accordingly.

You can configure static files as per @anubhav suggested.

Then you can reference your files like below.

<script src="jquery-latest-min.js"></script>

You should not use absolute path rather just to reference path which are relative to static folders like public in your case.
