</script>

server.js

// set our port
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var bodyParser     = require('body-parser');
var methodOverride = require('method-override');
var port = 3000; 

app.use(bodyParser.json()); 
app.use(bodyParser.json({ type: 'application/vnd.api+json' })); 

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true })); 
app.use(methodOverride('X-HTTP-Method-Override')); 
app.get('/*', function(req,res)
{
console.log('sending file: ' + req.url);
res.sendfile(__dirname  + '/Demo.html');
});
app.listen(port);

Can some one help me on this?

Thanks in advance..

Your problem is in this line:

app.get('/*', function(req,res)
{
  console.log('sending file: ' + req.url);
  res.sendfile(__dirname  + '/Demo.html');
});

This is basically saying that for any incoming GET request, always send back Demo.html. As a result, when your page's <script> tag requests the angular.min.js, it is given Demo.html, which the browser then tries to run as a javascript file, throwing the "unexpected <" error.

Instead, what you should do is something like the following:

var serveStatic = require('serve-static');
app.use(serveStatic(__dirname, {'index': ['Demo.html']}))

This will essentially serve whatever file is requested, and if no file is requested (i.e. /, then will return Demo.html).

Note you will need to npm install --save serve-static.

See the serve-static docs for more info.
