serve static folder image using express with loopback 4

I'm using express for serving static folder using loopback 4 like

 let dir = path.join(directory)
    server.use(express.static(dir));
    server.listen(3001);

But my application is running on the 4200 port and server.listen(3001) creates A new port but i want to do the same on 4200 If i'm giving server.listen(4200) then that not start because its can't run on two server on same port

Is that possible to serve file on existing port

You can add

app.use('/static', express.static('public'));

to your app main file.

This serves your files in the public folder in the /static endpoint, so if you have a file public/hello.jpg you can use it from localhost:4200/static/hello.jpg.
