Are you using some kind of library such as Express for rendering? I see you've tagged Jade, I figured it was a useful question; the approach and possible solutions will differ based on what you're working with.MikeJannino– MikeJannino2016-06-17 18:37:34 +00:00Commented Jun 17, 2016 at 18:37

Yes I'm using Express. Sorry to have not mentioned it earlier.Lipi Batra– Lipi Batra2016-06-17 18:39:38 +00:00Commented Jun 17, 2016 at 18:39

To expose static html, create a directory named "public" that lives next to your primary application file (app.js).
Assuming you are using the express framework, you can expose this directory by using the following code:
app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/public"));
where
var app = express();
Subsequently, any request to "/{something}" will attempt to resolve a route to a static file in your public directory, so if you had a file named {something} in that directory it would get served right up.
