Issue
I got SyntaxError: expected expression, got '<' error in the console when i'm executing following node code
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
app.all('*', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(__dirname+'/index.html') /* <= Where my ng-view is located */
})
var server = app.listen(3000, function () {
var host = server.address().address
var port = server.address().port
})
Error :
I'm using Angular Js and it's folder structure like bellow
What's I’m missing here ?
Solution
This code:
app.all('*', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(__dirname+'/index.html') /* <= Where my ng-view is located */
})
tells Express that no matter what the browser requests, your server should return index.html. So when the browser requests JavaScript files like jquery-x.y.z.main.js or angular.min.js, your server is returning the contents of index.html, which start with <!DOCTYPE html>, which causes the JavaScript error.
Your code inside the callback should be looking at the request to determine which file to send back, and/or you should be using a different path pattern with app.all. See the routing guide for details.
