I'm trying to return an html to user when a request is completed, like this:

router.get('/reset-password/:TOKEN', function(req, res) {
    Users.someStuff(req.params.TOKEN, function (error, result) {
        if (result) {
           res.sendfile('./views/passwordReset.html', {root: __dirname })
        }
        else {
            res.status(500).json(error);
        }

    });
});

My html is described like this

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Service</title>
</head>
<body>
<img src="/views/assets/img/logo.png">
</body>
</html>

The path of the image is absolute path from the html file

The problem is that the image is not showed when the html is rendered

What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the solution. Just add `app.use(express.static('views'));` and then change the image path to `` – Hanzo May 12 '17 at 07:45
