This is the error I am getting.
Refused to apply style from 'http://localhost:3000/public/stylesheets/style.css' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled.
This is my index.js file
//Requiring Dependencies
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const path = require('path');
//To run and parse EJS
const engine = require('ejs-mate');
//Using EJS-Mate
app.engine('ejs' , engine);
app.set('view engine' , 'ejs');
app.set('views' , path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.use(express.urlencoded({extended: true}));
//For use of files like js and css in public directory
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, './public')))
app.get('/' , (req , res) => {
})
app.get('/home' , (req , res) => {
res.render('layouts/boilerplate')
})
This is the boilerplate.ejs where i want to add the stylesheet

The bootstrap CSS however is working. So I tried removing the "rel" error goes but the stylesheet is not applied. I also tried to use the base method and still did not work, also added type=text/css, and still didn't work. Any idea why it is not working?
href="/stylesheets/style.css"(no/publicprefix)networktab, not just theconsoletab, because the network tab would have told you that your CSS file didn't have a 200 status code, but a 404, with the response being an HTML page.
