var express = require('express');
var app = express();

app.get("/", (req, res) => res.sendFile(__dirname + 
"/views/index.html")
);

app.use(express.static(__dirname +
"/public/style.css"));
This is after deleting the link to public in view







































 module.exports = app;

It might be a CORS problem and not your code. I leave you a link here. Hope is helpful.

You seem to be missing the link in the HTML file. Make sure you use the correct starter project and do not change anything you are not asked to.

Then have a look at the ExpressJS docs for Serving static files in Express. Look at the two last examples where they show how to specify a mount path (you would just use /public for both). You can also ignore the use of path.join in the last example and do it the way you are now.

**I have not completed the challenge, but I have seen the html just that the public is not applied

var express = require('express');
var app = express();

//next

/** 4) Serve static assets  */
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public/'));

app.get("/", function(req, res) {
res.sendFile("/views/index.html", { root : __dirname});
});

module.exports = app;
`**

Your code so far

Hello there.

Do you have a question?

If so, please edit your post to include it in the Tell us what’s happening section.

The more information you give us, the more likely we are to be able to help.

I just did this challenge and followed this model.
app.use(path, middlewareFunction)

Try adding the path /path before the middlewareFunction

I am still learning this too but hope that makes sense.

[ychris]

Thanks, I just include the path and. It work.
