nodeJS example using Express...

Static file app using morgan

// Requires Express, as before.
let express = require("express");

// Requires Morgan.
let morgan = require("morgan");

let app = express();

// Uses the Morgan middleware instead of the one you used to have.
let morganMiddleware = morgan("short");
app.use(morganMiddleware);

// Puts the static path in a variable.
let staticPath = path.join(__dirname, "static");
let statPath = express.static(staticPath);

// Uses express.static to serve files from the static path.
app.use(statPath);

app.use((req, res) => {
    res.status(404);
    res.send("File not found!");
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log("App started on port 3000..");
});

The Express app, in app.js

// Requires all of the modules you need
let http = require("http");
let path = require("path");
let express = require("express");
let logger = require("morgan");
let bodyParser = require("body-parser");

// Make an express app
let app = express();

// the first line tells Express that the views are in the views folder; the next line says the views will use the EJS engine.
app.set("views", path.resolve(__dirname, "views"));
app.set("view engine", "ejs");

// Creates a global array to store all your entries.
let entries = [];

// Makes this entries array available in all views.
app.locals.entries = entries;

// Use Morgan to log every request
app.use(logger("dev"));

// Populates a variable called req.body if the user is submitting a form. (the extended option is required.)
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

// When visiting the site root, renders the homepage(at views/index.ejs)
app.get("/", (request, response) => {
    response.render("index");
});

// Renders the "new entry" page (at views/index.ejs) when GETting the URL
app.get("/new-entry", (request, response) => {
    response.render("new-entry");
});

// Defines a route handler when you POST to the "new-entry" URL in contrast to a GET
app.post("new-entry", (request, response) => {

    // If user submits the form with no title or content, responds with a 400 error.
    if(!request.body.title || !request.body.body){
        response.status(400).send("Entries must have a title and a body.");
        return;
    }

    // Adds a new entry to the list of entries.
    entries.push({
        title: request.body.title,
        content: request.body.body,
        published: new Date()
    });

    // Redirects to the homepage to see your new entry.
    response.redirect("/");
});

// Renders a 404 page becaue you're requesting an unknown source.
app.use((request, response) => {
    response.status(404).render("404");
});

// Starts the server on port 3000!
http.createServer(app).listen(3000, () => {
    console.log("App started on port 3000");
});
