I use this setup: app.use(express.static(__dirname + ‘/public’)); app.use(‘/bower_components’, express.static(__dirname + ‘/bower_components’)); So any Bower components are loaded from HTML like this: <script src=”https://stackoverflow.com/bower_components/…”></script> And any other client-side JS/CSS (in public/) are loaded like this: <script src=”https://stackoverflow.com/js/…”></script>
