I am having a hard time loading css and js files with nodejs, here is what i have so far
The Js
/** Install nodeJs server the easy way
*
* $ npm install http-server -g // install http server * globally
* $ cd MyApp // navigate to the app's root folder
* $ http-server //run the server
*
**/
console.log("Welcome to sandy server");
//Module requires
var http = require("http"), //load http node module
fs = require("fs"), //load file system
path = require('path'),
url = require('url'),
data = require('./data'); //load file index.js in sub-folder data
//Object "MIMETYPES"
var MIMETYPES = {
html: "text/html; charset=utf-8",
jpeg: "image/jpeg",
jpg: "image/jpeg",
png: "image/png",
js: "text/javascript",
css: "text/css"
},
PORT = 8080;
http.createServer(function (request, response){ //Returns a new instance of http.Server.
console.log("request well recieved",request.url);
var listener = function (error, contentType){
if(error){
console.log('DIE!', error);
if(contentType !== "undefined"){
response.writeHeader(500, {"Content-Type": contentType});
}else{
response.writeHeader(500, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
}
response.end("<h1>FS READ FILE ERROR: Internal Server Error!</h1>");
}
};
var fileArray = request.url.split('.', 2),
filenameExtension = fileArray[1];
if( MIMETYPES.hasOwnProperty(filenameExtension) ){
console.log("MIMETYPES::: ",MIMETYPES[filenameExtension]);
fs.readFile(request.url, function (error, fileContent){
listener(error,MIMETYPES[filenameExtension]);
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': MIMETYPES[filenameExtension]});
response.write(fileContent);
response.end();
});
}
else{
console.log("::: Not in MIMETYPES ::: ");
fs.readFile("./spa.html", function (error, fileContent){
listener(error);
response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': MIMETYPES["html"]});
response.write(fileContent);
response.end();
});
}
console.log("end of the request");
}).listen(PORT, '127.0.0.1');//run the server on port
console.log("Server running at http://127.0.0.1:" + PORT + "/ see you next time!");
terminal
Chrome console
can anybody help me on that or tell me what i am doing wrong ? i just want to use nodejs not express or something thank you.

The problem is that you are trying to open files using root location. request.url
returns /css/init.css
and you are reading a file from the same location. Prepend it with .
or resolve the relative path from your script location.
