Handling: no absolute path needed

[marcopiraccini]

The description says:

Be careful: in practice, you’ll need to provide an absolute path to an index.html file in your program’s directory. To achieve this, you’ll probably need the path core module, its join() function, and the __dirname global variable.

However the solution is ok also with:

server.route(
    {
        path: '/',
        method:'GET',
        handler: {
            file: 'index.html'
        }
    }
);

So, it seems that handler.file can be also relative. Should we spceify that in the exercise description?

As noted on Hapijs style guide

Always use relative paths But in makemehapi helper says to use absolute path many times. Is it ok?

Hi @marcopiraccini, thanks for use the workshop.

The solution have a relative path in the route because has set the files to be relative to the directory in the server routes options https://github.com/ccarruitero/makemehapi/blob/master/exercises/handling/solution/solution.js#L10

I updated the problem to mention that in https://github.com/ccarruitero/makemehapi/commit/f8bae05cb69c11fb255ffb07a848fb3890e934c4#diff-79fe0e5db0e9285a2b8095a63e7c36d6
