Send A Static File For A Specifed URL

I am currently using parse to deploy my web app. I am using Express to route the url to the appropriate content. Currently I trying to serve index.html for the following url; myst

Solution 1:

You could have a wrong path. To look at errors try this:

  res.sendFile('index.html', function (err) {
    if (err) {
      console.log(err);
    }
    else {
      console.log('File sent!');
    }
  });

Solution 2:

From http://expressjs.com/4x/api.html#res.sendFile:

Unless the root option is set in the options object, path must be an absolute path of the file.

Update 1: I tried this:

app.get('/test', function(req,res) {
    try {
        res.sendFile('test.html');
    } catch (err) {
        res.send('ERROR ' + err);
    }
});

It produces:

ERROR TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'sendFile'

I then stumbled across this: How to manually serve files on Parse.com?. The relevant quote:

...it seems Parse runs a custom subset of Node modules. They've erased all filesystem methods. There's no sendFile() on Express API, no readFile() on fs module...

Update 2:

Parse sets up a static file handler for your app, so try this:

app.get('/hi', function(req, res){
  res.redirect('/index.html');
});
