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,

To read the html file from server using http module. This is one way to read file from server. If you want to get it on console just remove http module declaration.

var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
var server = http.createServer(function(req, res) {
  fs.readFile('HTMLPage1.html', function(err, data) {
    if (!err) {
      res.writeHead(200, {
        'Content-Type': 'text/html'
      });
      res.write(data);
      res.end();
    } else {
      console.log('error');
    }
  });
});
server.listen(8000, function(req, res) {
  console.log('server listening to localhost 8000');
});
