加载资源失败：服务器响应状态为 404 (Not Found) Express

Question

This file contain the file structure

This file contains the directory settings

While trying to add static images to the home.ejs folder i am constantly getting this error:-

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

I tried to use the app.use(express.static('public')) but the issue still persist.

This is the path i used:

assets/img/hero.jpg

I cannot figure out how to solve this issue and is there is something wrong with file structure or i made mistake while referencing the file name.

Answer 1

First we need to set the path

app.set('/views',path.join(__dirname,'/views'))

then we can use image by using this path:

img/hero.jpg
