expressjsHow can I render HTML pages using Express.js?

Express.js is a web application framework for Node.js that enables you to render HTML pages. To render HTML pages using Express.js, you need to create a route for the HTML page and use the res.sendFile method. Here is an example of how to do this:

//Import Express.js
const express = require('express');

//Create an instance of Express.js
const app = express();

//Create a route for the HTML page
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});

//Start the server
app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server started on port 3000');
});

Output example
