Read a file in Node.js

Question

I\'m quite puzzled with reading files in Node.js.

fs.open(\'./start.html\', \'r\', function(err, fileToRead){
    if (!err){
        fs.readFile(fileToRead,         


        

Answer 1

simple synchronous way with node:

let fs = require('fs')

let filename = "your-file.something"

let content = fs.readFileSync(process.cwd() + "/" + filename).toString()

console.log(content)
