I am beginner in express, js and node.js

I have followed lot of tutorials about express, and i dont understand why the index.html file dont call the corresponding CSS file:

my server.js file:

const path = require('path')
const express = require('express');

var app = express();

app.use(express.static('public'));

app.get('/0', (req, res) => {
    res.sendFile('index.html', {root : __dirname });
})

var server = app.listen(8081, function () {
    var host = server.address().address
    var port = server.address().port
    console.log("Example app listening at http://%s:%s", host, port)
 })

JavaScript

const path = require('path')
const express = require('express');
​
var app = express();
​
app.use(express.static('public'));
​
app.get('/0', (req, res) => {
    res.sendFile('index.html', {root : __dirname });
})
​
var server = app.listen(8081, function () {
    var host = server.address().address
    var port = server.address().port
    console.log("Example app listening at http://%s:%s", host, port)
 })

my index.html file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

    <meta charset="UTF-8">

.heading {

  font-size: 2rem;
  text-transform: uppercase;
}

and the different folders of the project:

when i type localhost:8081/0, the result is not the right result, the CSS is not active.

What am i doing wrong? thanks for help

Answer

express.static bind public folder to site root (/) so after that you need to include static files without public in path:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css">

JavaScript
 
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css">
