Answer 1

Orane is right.

When You "node app.js" your app runs a server. We need to provide this server with all files we want. With Ionic Application it's basically www folder. In following example i put all contents of www folder to my public folder.

My root folder has app.js file and public folder. That's how app.js looks like:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var server = require('http').createServer(app);

app.get('/', function (request, response) {
    response.sendFile(__dirname + "/public/index.html");
});
app.use(express.static(__dirname, 'public'));

In public folder i have all frontend css and js. We included the whole folder public in code above. Now in index.html of public You should include files with public/, like this:

All the best, anybody, feel free to ask anything about Node.js+Ionic Framework
