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.
