Render raw HTML

Question

I want to render raw .html pages using Express 3 as follows:

server.get(\'/\', function(req, res) {
    res.render(\'login.html\');
}
         


        

Answer 1

as the document says : 'Express expects: (path, options, callback)' format function in app.engin(...).

so you can write your code like below(for simplicity, but it work):

server
.set('view options', {layout: false})
.set('views', './../')
.engine('html', function(path, options, cb) {
    fs.readFile(path, 'utf-8', cb);
});

of course just like 2# & 3# said, you should use express.static() for static file transfer; and the code above not suit for production
