## Serve Static Assets

<!-- The article goes here, in GitHub-flavored Markdown. Feel free to add YouTube videos, images, and CodePen/JSBin embeds  -->

Static webpages are fairly simple with express. This could be useful for building your own portfolio website or blog, etc.

To serve a static webpage from the "views" folder you can use code such as:

```javascript
 const express = require("express");
 const app = express();
 app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/views"));
```
