express static 2 different folders
Files:
I have two different frontend build apps, each one in own directory - frontApp and frontAdmin and I need to send them on different requests
in routes/index.js
router.get('/', (req, res) =>
res.sendFile('index.html');
);
router.get('/admin', (req, res) =>
res.sendFile('admin/index.html');
);
I tried
in app.js
const frontPath = express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/frontApp'));
const adminPath = express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/frontAdmin'));
app.use(frontPath);
app.use('/admin', adminPath);
At the end i get the app on http://localhost:3000/admin/ but with errors
then what should i do?

To help you solve your problem, we need to see an example of a
/main url that expect to work via express.static() and we need to see exactly where the file you want served with that URL is in your file system. Same thing for a /admin url. That's the only way we can help you get things matched up so express.static() does what you want. Also, "doesn't work for me" is NOT a useful description of the problem. You need to describe exactly what happens and what debugging steps you tried. Do you get a 404 error? Do you get no response from the server? Do you get the wrong file?– jfriend00

/main
express.static()
/admin
express.static()
And, when showing us where the desired files are in the file system, show us exactly where they are located relative to the script that you are putting these routes in.

Reading your question again, are there just two files you're trying to serve here:
main/index.html and admin/index.html? Or are there a whole set of resources for each? Your question does not currently contain enough information for anyone to answer other than guess what you're trying to accomplish.– jfriend00

main/index.html
admin/index.html

Sorry for incorrect question, the problem was in mime type
i did this and it works now
const frontPath = express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/frontApp'));
const adminPath = express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/frontAdmin'));
app.use(frontPath);
app.use(adminPath);
app.use('/admin', adminPath);

Are you serving /admin as a route handler or statically. It seems you are trying to do both and you shouldn't be!
