I recommend using express, and then you can make a folder your static directory and you can serve your javascript file easilyM Omayr– M Omayr2014-05-02 09:17:50 +00:00Commented May 2, 2014 at 9:17

First Install express by this command:
npm install express
then create a folder named public in the directory where your server.js resides. Your directory structure should be like this:
server.js
public //public is a folder
index.html
javascript //javascript is also a folder
some.js //this is your javascript folder inside public/javascript folder
and do this in your server.js:
var express = require('express')
, http = require('http')
, var fs = require('fs');
, path = require('path');
var app = express();
app.configure(function () {
app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 8000);
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
});
var server = http.createServer(app);
server.listen(app.get('port'), function () {
console.log("Express server listening on port " + app.get('port'));
});
//create a route
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.sendfile('public/test.html');
});
And in your html include it like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/some.js"></script>
