How to host unity webGL on node.js?

I was following this thread https://forum.unity.com/threads/nodejs-as-server-for-hosting-webgl.449904/

I am trying to get my unity webGL project to show up as static using node.js but terminal is throwing me this error "TypeError: Object prototype may only be an Object or null: /Testit"

This is my code at the moment:

Code (JavaScript):

1. const express = require('express');
2. var compression  = require('compression');
3. const app = express();
4.  
5. app.use(compression());
6. app.use(express.static(__dirname,'/Testit'));
7.  
8.  
9. app.listen(8000, () => {
10. console.log('Server has started!')
11. });

Thanks in advance!

 

Line 6 isn't correct. It looks like you meant to call path.join() to create the path name, and pass that to express.static().

Presumably, you want:

Code (JavaScript):

1. const path = require('path')
2. app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'Testit')));

You could probably also do something simpler, but hackier, and create the path with simple string concatenation, like this:

Code (JavaScript):

1. app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/Testit'));

 

Thank you! This fixed it for me
