serving favicon.ico from node.js

Question

I have built a small node server using express and I want to serve index.html which contains angular app. How ever the browser sends GET request for favicon.ico. I have installed serve-favicon, however still it looks for physical file. Is there a way to override it? or from where can I find such file

Answer 1

The recommended way is actually just to use a link tag in your index.html:

<link rel="icon" href="/img/favicon.png">

Just change the href to link to an img in your public folder and you're good to go.
