So I'm trying to see how to import HTML into my Node.js file. The HTML file is named index.html and the JS is named script.js. I was trying to append "Hello World!" but it only says "Node.js Stuff"

Here is what I've tried:

var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
    fs.readFile('index.html', function(data) {
        res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
        res.write(data);
        res.write("Hello World!");
        res.end();
    });
}).listen(8080);

and this is the HTML file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
    <title>replit</title>
    <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

<body>
    <h1 class = "heading">Node.js Stuff</h1>
</body>

</html>

Install express:

npm i express

Node.js:

const express = require("express")
const app = express()
app.use(express.static(__dirname)
app.get("/",(req,res)=>{
    res.sendFile("index.html")
}
app.listen(3000,()=>{console.log("Started")})
