const http = require('http');
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

const port = 8080;


const publicDir = path.join(__dirname, 'public');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {


const filePath = path.join(publicDir, req.url);

fs.stat(filePath, (err, stats) => {


if (err || !stats.isFile()) {
res.writeHead(404, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' });
return res.end('404 Not Found');
}

const fileStream = fs.createReadStream(filePath);

/*
Explanations

The code you provided creates a simple Node.js server that serves static files from a directory named
"public". Here's what the output would be:

1.When you run this code, it will start the server on port 8080.
2.If you navigate to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser, the server will attempt to serve the
file located at ./public/index.html.
3.If the file exists, it will be served to the client with a status code of 200.
4.If the file does not exist or is not a regular file (e.g., it's a directory), the server will respond with a
404 Not Found status code and a simple "404 Not Found" message.
