<!-- test.html -->

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Test</h1>
</body>
</html>
// index.js

const http = require('http')
const path = require('path')
const fs = require('fs')

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
    if (req.url === '/') {
        fs.readFile(path.join(__dirname, 'test.html'), (err, data) => {
            if (err) throw err;
            res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' })
            res.end(data);
        })
    }
});

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 8080;

server.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`The server is running on port ${PORT}`));




/*
run:

The server is running on port 8080

On http://localhost:8080/
