const fs = require('fs');

const path = require('path');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {

  if (req.url === '/') {

    const filePath = path.join(__dirname, 'index.html');

    fs.readFile(filePath, (err, data) => {

      if (err) {

        res.writeHead(500, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });

        res.end('500 - Internal Server Error');

      } else {

        res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' });

        res.end(data);

      }

    });

  }

});

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

server.listen(PORT, () => {

  console.log(`Server running at http://localhost:${PORT}`);

});
