Express.js – any way to display a file/dir listing?

by

As of Express 4.x, the directory middleware is no longer bundled with express. You’ll want to download the npm module serve-index.

Then, for example, to display the file/dir listings in a directory at the root of the app called videos would look like:

    var serveIndex = require('serve-index');

    app.use(express.static(__dirname + "https://stackoverflow.com/"))
    app.use('/videos', serveIndex(__dirname + '/videos'));
