Node JS - HTML Paths

I recently have the problem that I dont get how the paths for html in node js work. I link my index.html's scripts as normal - relative to the index.html's file (node.js file and index.html are in the same directory "res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');"). But if I open it up in the Browser executed with node js it just stats "cant GET blabla" for the scripts. Instead opening it up by just clicking index.html without node js those paths work! How do I have to write html paths for node js?

var express = require('express'),
    app = express(),
    server = require('http').createServer(app),
    io = require('socket.io').listen(server),
    port = Number(process.env.PORT || 3000),

server.listen(port);

app.get('/', function(req, res){
    res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});

Thanks for your time! :)

Usually i put all my static files in a separate folder named "assets" The I set up a static route as shown below:enter code here

app.use('/assets', express.static('assets'));
