I am creating an Angular 2 app with Node.js and Express.
The problem I am having is that my routes file doesnt work with a wildcard. Everytime I visit the page with anything other then /
(for example /test
) it says the following: ReferenceError: path is not defined
My server.js:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const path = require('path');
const routes = require('./routes');
const data = require('./articles.json');
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/dist')));
app.use('/', routes);
app.listen(8080, function () {
console.log('App started on port 8080');
});
My /routes/index.js:
const routes = require('express').Router();
routes.get('*', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + '/dist/index.html'));
});
module.exports = routes;
So what am I doing wrong here?
