Basic Node and Express (Serve Static Assets)

JavaScript
#1

I didn’t manage to output the css stylesheet using express.static on Repl.
is it something to do with the platform?

app.get(’/’,function(req,res){
res.sendFile(__dirname + ‘/views/index.html’);
});

app.use(express.static(__dirname + ‘public’))

I’m also having the same issue, but I’m not sure why.

I do believe that the app.use() needs to be above the app.get() since Express looks at the routes at the top first, but I have my code ordered that way and it’s still not picking up the style.css

EDIT:
I got my solution to work by clicking the ‘open in new tab’ button in the preview window. That pulled in the CSS and solved the challenge.
