Passing NodeJS data to Javascript

I have a web application with a client that receives data from a server. I have the data in NodeJS, but I want to pass the data to a Javascript file. The Javascript file is included in a HTML file, so I can't make the files communicate with eachother.

I am new to NodeJS, so it can be a stupid question, but anyones help is appreciated

This is for a project where I need have a data stream, and I need to pass it into a web application. I tried to pass the data to different page inside my application and then I tried to get that data on that page inside my web application via Javascript, but I couldn't make that work. I'm not even sure if its possible at this point.

Your node server can't communicate with your front-end without a specific way of communication like websocket, you have many other way to communicate with your front-end as node-server, take a look at server send event for example.

By the way your front-end can call your node server more easely with a get request as said @tomerpacific in comment.

For that you have to open a route with your express app. Routing with express And for call it on a GET request, for that you can use the XMLHttpRequest, and if you have implemented jQuery on your front, you can use Ajax jQuery.
