找不到Javascript 404资源NodeJS

Question

I'm running a Node JS server on an old laptop of mine, and I've portforwarded the port 8006 so that I can connect to the node server from another computer and view the web pages. However, I have a sound file that I want the server to play when something happens, but after checking the console output on my computer, it keeps throwing this error:

GET http://0.0.0.0:8006/surprise.mp3 404 (Not Found)

Where of course the zeroes are my actual IP address (the ip of the server). Everything else runs fine including all the javascript files and the webpages. This is the code that actually plays the sound:

var audio = new Audio('surpise.mp3');
audio.play();

And that's sitting inside one of the client-side javascript files. How can I make that particular mp3 file accessible to outside users?

Answer 1

If you're using the Express framework (which it sounds like you are), you can create a .get() route for /surprise.mp3 and then use res.SendFile("/somepath/surprise.mp3") so that your node.js server will serve that file when that route is requested.

Or, if you have multiple static files to serve, you can use express.static() to set up a directory of static files that will get automatically served.
