显示从nodejs服务器发送的文件数据，就像在angularjs中一样

Question

I am using angular fullstack generator for creating a web application. I want to send a file data from nodejs server to display in the Front end.But data is sent in unformatted manner since i am receiving it in a variable( as a array of strings). Plz. tell me how to get the file data as it is (in the file at server )in the front end.

My nodejs code :

 function readstack() {
 fs = require('fs')
 fs.readFile('outstack.txt', 'utf8', function (err,data) {
 if (err) {
 return console.log(err);
 }
 console.log(data);
 res.send(data); 
 });
 }
 var stackend = setTimeout(readstack,30000);

My angular controller code :

$http.get('/runtrace').success(function(response){
console.log("requested data");
$scope.output= response;

I am displaying in front end by :

 <div id="divoutput"> 
 {{output}}
 </div >

Answer 1

Did you try sending the file instead of reading using file system response.sendfile("yourText.txt"); ?
