I use this function to send html file to client, but in client I get nothing (blank page) without error. Something I wrong?, please help?
var express = require('express'); var fs = require('fs'); var app = express(); app.set('view engine', 'jade'); app.engine('jade', require('jade').__express); app.get('/test', function(req, res) { fs.readFile(__dirname + '/views/test.html', 'utf8', function(err, text){ res.send(text); }); var port = process.env.PORT || 80; var server = app.listen(port); console.log('Express app started on port ' + port); My test.html file
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <style something here </style> <title>Test</title> <script src="..."></script> </head> <body> <div> Somthing here </div> <script type="text/javascript"> //something here </script> </body></html>

Copy the entire content of a page, either with Ctrl+A (Windows) / Cmd+A (Mac) or just use a mouse or a trackpad. Then, insert it into your Gmail's compose window and send it! The email should arrive in exactly the same shape as it was last seen leaving your inbox.
js. So far we sent html code directly from the send(0 function in response object. For sending larger code, we definitely require to have a separate file for html code.
Try your code like this:
var app = express(); app.get('/test', function(req, res) { res.sendFile('views/test.html', {root: __dirname }) }); Use res.sendFile instead of reading the file manually so express can handle setting the content-type properly for you.
You don't need the app.engine line, as that is handled internally by express.

you can render the page in express more easily
var app = require('express')(); app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views')); app.set('view engine', 'jade'); app.get('/signup',function(req,res){ res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname,'/signup.html')); }); so if u request like http://127.0.0.1:8080/signup that it will render signup.html page under views folder.
