Static hosting with Node.js and Express
I'm trying to learn nodejs and I will use this knowledge to power the backend of a RIA such as ExtJS or Angular.
Anyway, to create a static folder to host web files in node, all you need to do is this:
npm install express
mkdir public
#place web documents in public folder
Write a node app:
app.js
var express = require('express');
var app=express();
Run the node app:
node app.js
Where is this useful? The public folder could be used to host your frontend application and library.
