Rewrite the app.serve function at row 61 in index.js so that will serve static files without using express.js.

Can use node-static?

[HeyIts-RJ]

Hello, I try to resolve your issue by using the native file system module not express. Please check it and merge it if it is right.

Here is my methodology to implementation
`
var fs = require('fs'),
http = require('http');

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
 fs.readFile(__dirname + req.url, function (err,data) {
if (err) {
  res.writeHead(404);
  res.end(JSON.stringify(err));
  return;
}
res.writeHead(200);
res.end(data);
 });
}).listen(8080);

`

@prkhrv I would like to remove as many dependencies as possible from my package. node-static is pretty lightweight, but I prefer a native solution if it is possible.

Actually, I prefer @HeyIts-RJ's solution (#30). I have to review the code with more attention, probably this evening (CET timezone).
Could you please fix the linter errors, so that I can better test it? Give a look to the GitHub Actions CI or just run npm t on your fork.
Also, even if its a developer tool, JSON.stringify(err) could probably be rewritten in a more user-friendly way.

[HeyIts-RJ]

Alright @daquinoaldo I will fix the linter error and actually I'm thinking to remove JSON.stringify(err)

[HeyIts-RJ]

@daquinoaldo I fixed the linter errors and warning in my last commit.

@HeyIts-RJ take a look at my comment on #30. Can you implement it?
If you think it is too complex we can use node-static as suggested by @prkhrv.

[HeyIts-RJ]

Give me some time for it @daquinoaldo I think I'm moving in right direction.

[daquinoaldo]

Sure, no problem

Someone wants to help @HeyIts-RJ with #30 or whish to propose its own solution?
