Where to Put CSS and JS files to be included in HTML Pages

[JethroNull]

I'm building an HTML page to be served by Node-Red and which uses websockets.  I really need to separate some of the CSS and JS files.  Which directory should be used to store those and how to reference them in the HTML?

Quick answer as I'm away from my laptop at the moment... have a look at the httpStatic property in settings.js.

Nick,

"httpStatic: '/home/nol/node-red-dashboard/'" 

Presumably this directory has to be created (or another suitable one) and the httpStatic property uncommented in settings.js?

Hi Jon,

yes, it should point at a directory containing the content you want to be served by node-red, and it has to be uncommented to have any effect.

And it is a static folder that feeds into Express so you can put sub-folders in to keep things organised. In you HTML, you simply reference as src="somefile.js", src="js/myfile.js" or whatever. I have folders for my js and css as you would do with any other project.

Thanks guys, works for me.  But just incase another noob is reading this one day, you also need to reboot for the settings.js changes to take effect.
