by 
const express = require('express')
const server = express()

/* route requests for static files to appropriate directory */
server.use('/public', express.static(__dirname + '/static-files-dir'))

/* other routes defined before catch-all */
server.get('/some-route', (req, res) => {
  res.send('ok')
})

/* final catch-all route to index.html defined last */
server.get('/*', (req, res) => {
  res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
})

const port = 8000;
server.listen(port, function() {
  console.log('server listening on port ' + port)
})
