`express.static()` keeps routing my files from the route
You must inverse the order of your router
app.use('/', router);app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));means your router will be called first and, if no middleware handles the request, then express will call static files so, if you put the static middleware first, the express will handle static files first.
It is also recommended to put static middleware first.
For your problem you should try this:
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public/html'));app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));app.use('/', router);Express will try static files first on public/html folder, then on the rest (including the public/html), i prefer putting html files on the root of public folder or maybe on a different folder (e.g public-html, static-html)
