Display contents of file on HTML page

Question

I am looking for a way to display the contents of a directory on an HTML page. I have the following snippet of code:

const fs = require("fs");
let directory_name = "/example";
let filenames = fs.readdirSync(directory_name);
console.log("\nFilenames in directory:");
filenames.forEach((file) => {
   console.log("File:", file);
});

This will display the contents of the file in the terminal(console) but I am looking for a way to change the "console.log("File:", file)" line into a statement to send the elements to my HTML page.

Any help would be appreciated.

Using Linux btw

Use the express.js res.send function.
