javascript - Using TypeScript and Express, views do not render. Instead server files are shown -

i'm trying create webapp using typescript. have app.js file creating server, route i'm defining never hit. instead, files on server @ root of project shown.

here code.

//app.ts import * express 'express'; import * http 'http-server';  let app = express();  app.set('port', 443); app.set('views', './views'); app.set('view engine', 'jade');  app.get('/', function(req: any, res: any) {     // code never reached on 'get /' requests.     res.render('index'); });  app.use(function(req: any, res: any, next: any) {}); app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {});  http.createserver().listen(app.get('port'));  console.log("listening..."); 

when go localhost:443 i'm met image below.

in messing around code i'm able app.render() call see rendered html string in debugger, more can out of configuration, still calling app.render('index'); doesn't render anything. sample below.

app.render('index', function(err: error, html: string) {     console.log(html); // outputs rendered view, not rendered on page. }); 

what think?

you haven't used express instance server.

you need this

http.createserver(app).listen(app.get('port')); 

or

app.listen(app.get('port')) 

basically called server without handler, shows directory of main script.

you have created express instance, did not added http server.
