To serve static files such as images, CSS files, and JavaScript files, we can use built-in middleware function in Express. i.e. express.static
we simply need to pass the name of the folder where we have our static files, to the express.static middleware to start serving the files directly. For example, if you keep your images, CSS, and JavaScript files in a folder named public, we can use below code −
app.use(express.static('public'));

http://localhost:3000/images/hello.jpg
http://localhost:3000/css/hello.css
http://localhost:3000/js/hello.js
http://localhost:3000/images/hello.png
http://localhost:3000/hello.html
