// Create server.js file:
const http = require("http");
const fs = require("fs");

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  
  // set header content type
  res.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");

  let path = "./views/";
  switch (req.url) {
    case "/":
      path += "index.html";
      break;
    case "/about":
      path += "about.html";
      break;
    case "/contact":
      path += "contact.html";
      break;
    default:
      path += "404.html";
      break;
  }

  // send and html file
  fs.readFile(path, "utf8", (err, data) => {
    if (err) {
      console.log(err);
      res.end("file not found");
    } else {
      res.end(data);
    }
  });
});

server.listen(3000, "localhost", () => {
  // this is where are we listening for requests
  console.log("listening for requests on port 3000");
});

// In directory with server.js create folder "views" and inside create simple files "index.html", "about.html", "contact.html" and "404.html", for example "index.html":
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Node.js course</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Home</h1>
    <h2>Finish current project before you start a new one!</h2>
</body>
</html>

// Now, open directory with server.js in terminal and run:
node server.js

// You can see the results in browser at http://localhost:3000
// Try going to http://localhost:3000/about or http://localhost:3000/lsdkfjj
