#13 Sending HTML Response | Fundamentals of NODE JS | A Complete NODE JS Course

In the last lecture we learned how to define routes in NODE JS and send different responses for different URLs. In this lecture let's see how we can send HTML response from NODE JS server.

I really appreciate they way you have put the Html File separately, Thanks

If for anyone an error pops out saying replace is not a function then you must have forgotten to add utf-8 encoding to the readfilesync function .

check with it

Node js doesn't serve static files automatically 😢

The replace method is not working, shows .replace ins not a function

[JoeKalmaPhilips]

For those who got errors where the terminal throws errors with replace function, try to add encoding to readFileSync like.

const html = fs.readFileSync("./Template/index.html", "utf-8");
// thanks to people who comments before me.

Alternatively, I discovered that we can also add toString() method before "replace":

response.end(html.toString().replace("{{%CONTENT%}}", "...."));
// not sure if this is a good fix though, but it is working for me.
