My goal is to serve a static index.html file along with main.css using this node server implementation:
The following code can be found in the serve.js file:
var express = require('express')
var cors = require('cors')
var app = express()
var path = require('path');
app.use(cors())
app.use(express.static('assets'))
app.get('/', function (req, res, next) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + '/index.html'));
})
app.listen(3000, function () {
console.log('CORS-enabled web server listening on port 3000')
})
The content of index.html:
<!doctype html>
<html class="no-js" lang="">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./assets/css/main.css">
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello Html!</p>
<div class="thejson"></div>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
main.css content:
body {
background: #ffdd;
color: #eaeaea;
padding: 10px;
}
The project structure is as follows:
project structure:
index.html
serve.js
assets
js
css
main.css
When browsing index.html, the CSS loads successfully. However, when serving it through Node, I encounter the error message:
Refused to apply style from 'http://127.0.0.1:3000/assets/css/main.css' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled.
I've attempted both href="/assets/css/main.css" and href="./assets/css/main.css" without success.
What could be the issue here? How can I resolve it?
