sendFile function in express js is not working

When i try t run this code, i don't get any error but i get a blank screen when i open loclhost.
const path = require("path")
const express = require("express")
app = express()
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
let fullpath = path.join(__dirname, './index.html')
console.log(fullpath)
res.sendFile(fullpath)
console.log("File sent")
res.end()
})
app.listen(5500, () => {
console.log("Server started")
})
Im using linux, express version is 4.18.2, node version is 18.1.0
I executed the same code in a windows machine with same express version and it worked without any error. Maybe its something to do with linux compatibility or maybe how paths are different in windows and linux.
Things i have tried so far:
const path = require("path")
const express = require("express")
app = express()
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
let fullpath = path.join(__dirname, './index.html')
res.sendFile(fullpath, { root: '/' })
console.log("File sent")
res.end()
})
app.listen(5500, () => {
console.log("Server started")
})
const path = require("path")
const express = require("express")
app = express()
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
var options = {
root: path.join(__dirname)
}
let fileName = 'index.html'
res.sendFile(fileName, options)
console.log("File sent")
res.end()
})
app.listen(5500, () => {
console.log("Server started")
})

Simple Answer:
Remove res.end();
Try this code
const express = require("express")
app = express()
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(__dirname + "/index.html")
console.log("File sent")
})
app.listen(5500, () => {
console.log("Server started")
})

Firebase functions can't access my middleware routes

const functions = require("firebase-functions");
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const productRouter = require('./routes/productRoutes');
const globalErrorHandler = require('./controllers/errorController');
const AppError = require('./utils/appError');
// Compressing upcompressed files which is been sent to client such text.
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
app.use(morgan('dev'));
}
// app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('Hello World')
});
app.get('/homepage', (req, res) => {
res.send('Hello People of God')
});
app.use('/products', productRouter);
// Handing Unhandled Routes
app.all('*', (req, res, next) => {
next(new AppError(`Can't find ${req.originalUrl} on this server!`, 404));
});
app.use(globalErrorHandler);
exports.app = functions.https.onRequest(app);

const router = express.Router();
router

router
.route('/:id')
.get(getProduct);
module.exports = router;

const Product = require('../modals/productModels');
const catchAsync = require('../utils/catchAsync');
// GET SINGLE PRODUCT CONTROLLER
exports.getProduct = catchAsync(async (req, res, next) => {
const product = await Product.findById(req.params.id)
.populate('reviews');
if (!product) {
return next(new AppError('No product found with that ID', 404));
}
res.status(200).json({
status: 'success',
data: {
product
}
});
});
// GET ALL PRODUCT CONTROLLER
exports.getAllProduct = catchAsync(async (req, res, next) => {
const products = await Product.find();
res.status(200).json({
status: 'success',
results: products.length,
data: {
products
}
});
});
///server.js
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const app = require('./index')
const dotenv = require('dotenv');
// CONNECTING TO MONGODB SERVER
dotenv.config({ path: './config.env' })
const DB = process.env.DATABASE.replace('<PASSWORD>', process.env.DATABASE_PASSWORD);
mongoose.connect(DB, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
safe: true,
strict: false,
useUnifiedTopology: true
}).then(con => console.log('DB connection successful'))
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`App running on port ${port}...`);
});
After running function serve on my terminal i can access the two '/' and 'homepage' app.get which return the res "Hello world" and "Hello people of God" but can't access app.use('/products', productRouter). Its does take some time to run and throw an error "{"code":"ECONNRESET"}" please why is this so.
Am expecting to get my list of products from my mongodb data base.

What does this error mean and how would I fix it: throw new TypeError('app.use() requires a middleware function')?

I am trying to create a login page and sign up page, my app.js gives me this error, I think it is the last line of this code. I can send you the other components(files) for this express app. I cannot understand what is causing this error.
const express = require('express');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
// Routes
const authRoutes = require('./routes/authRoutes');
const app = express();
// middleware
app.use(express.static('public'));
app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
res.locals.error = err;
res.status(err.status);
res.render('error');
});
// view engine
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
// database connection
const dbURI = '<database, username and password>';
mongoose.connect(dbURI, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true, useCreateIndex:true })
.then((result) => app.listen(3000))
.catch((err) => console.log(err));
// routes
app.get('/', (req, res) => res.render('home'));
app.get('/smoothies', (req, res) => res.render('smoothies'));
app.use(authRoutes);
authRoutes.js
const { Router } = require('express')
const authController = require('./authController.js')
const router = Router();
router.get('/signup', authController.signup_get);
router.get('/signup', authController.signup_post);
router.get('/login', authController.login_get);
router.get('/login', authController.login_post);
module.export = router;
authController.js
module.exports.signup_get = (req, res) => {
res.render('signup');
}
module.exports.login_get = (req, res) => {
res.render('login');
}
module.exports.signup_post = (req, res) => {
res.send('signup');
}
module.exports.login_post = (req, res) => {
res.send('login');
}

You are exporting incorrectly in authRoutes.js.
Change this:
module.export = router;
to this:
module.exports = router;
FYI, a little debugging on your own by simply doing a console.log(authRoutes) should have been able to show you where to look for the problem. If you get an error when you attempt to use authRoutes, you look at what it is and where it came from to see why it's not working. This is basic debugging and there is an expectation that you've done basic debugging before you post your question here.

Cannot read fetch data on express server

On the client side, I have an application based on threejs an d javascript. I want to send data to the server written in express using fetch. Unfortunately, the server does not receive the data and the browser also gives an error:
Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.
Application:
this.username = prompt("Username:");
const body = JSON.stringify({ username: this.username });
fetch("http://localhost:3000/addUser", { method: "POST", body })
.then((response) => response.json())
.then(
(data) => (
console.log(data), (this.aktualny_album_piosenki = data.files)
)
);
Server:
var express = require("express")
var app = express()
const PORT = 3000;
var path = require("path");
app.use(express.static('dist'));
var bodyParser = require("body-parser");
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
var cors = require('cors');
app.use(cors());
app.post("/addUser", function (req, res) {
console.log(req.body)
})

I might be wrong but maybe try... (very bottom of your main server file)
app.listen((PORT) => {
console.log(`app is listening on port ${PORT}`);
})
is required maybe? I have this chunk of code in every project of my own so maybe that could fix the server not recognizing the api request
express documentation on app listen
heres what I use typically... this is a boilerplate for every one of my projects
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const connectDB = require("./config/db.js");
const router = express.Router();
const config = require("config");
// init middleware
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const cors = require("cors");

}
const limiter = rateLimit({

};
});
app.get('/*', cors(), function(_, res) {

next();
});
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "production") {
// Express will serve up production files
app.use(express.static("client/build"));
// serve up index.html file if it doenst recognize the route
app.get('*', cors(), function(_, res) {
res.sendFile(__dirname, './client/build/index.html'), function(err) {
if (err) {
res.status(500).send(err)
}
}
})
app.get('/*', cors(), function(_, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, './client/build/index.html'), function(err) {
if (err) {
res.status(500).send(err)
}
})
})
};
io.on("connection", socket => {
console.log("New client connected");
socket.on("disconnect", () => console.log("Client disconnected"));
});
server.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(`Server listening on port ${PORT}!`);
});
client-side fetch request looks good to me its prob a server/express.JS thing but like i said i may be wrong but worth trying

Emitting socket.io events from express router and processing on server

I am trying to build a webchat app using node.js and express. I have a router file and a server file, together with some client files. I would like to emit a join event from the router and processing it on the server so the user can join the room. I did i like this
Server.js
const express = require('express');
const layout = require('express-layout');
const app = express();
var server = require('http').createServer(app);
var io=require('socket.io')(server);
const routes = require('./router')(io);
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var fs = require("fs");
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
const middleware = [
layout(),
express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')),
bodyParser.urlencoded(),
];
app.use(middleware);
app.use('/', routes);
app.use((req, res, next) => {
res.status(404).send("Sorry can't find that!");
});
app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
console.error(err.stack);
res.status(500).send('Something broke!');
});
io.on('connect', onConnect);
function onConnect(socket) {
var contents = fs.readFileSync("./public/rooms.json");
let rooms = JSON.parse(contents);
socket.emit('parse',rooms);
socket.on('join',function (name, room) {
console.log(name+" "+ room);
socket.join(room);
socket.user=name;
socket.room=room;
})
}
Here I just initialize the io connection together with all the dependencies I use. I use const routes = require('./router')(io); to pass the io variable
router.js
const express = require('express');
const User= require("./public/classes/User");
const router = express.Router();
const {check, validationResult} = require('express-validator');
const {matchedData} = require('express-validator/filter');
var userlist=new Array();
router.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.render('index', {
data: {},
errors: {}
})
});
router.post('/enter', [
check('username')
.isLength({min: 1})
.withMessage('Username is required').trim() //implement personalized check
], (req, res) => {
const errors = validationResult(req);
if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
return res.render('index', {
data: req.body,
errors: errors.mapped()
})
}
const data = matchedData(req)
handleJoin(data);
});
return router;
//MOVE TO SUPPORT
function find(name) {
return 1;
}
function handleJoin (data){
if(find(data.username)){
const newUser= new User (data.username, data.room,"");
userlist.push(newUser);
io.emit('join',newUser.name,newUser.room);
}
};
};
The console should log the name and the choosen room but it doesn't. How do I process this?
