how can i build static server & websocket server in one exe file by pkg

Question

I want build static resource server and websocket server into one exe file. using the open source package pkg. but official documentation have not example.

I have a web app, and a websocket server, for demo, it's should running in a pc without node.js environment. so, the best practice is building these to a .exe file.

 {
  "bin": "server/index.js",
  "pkg": {
    "assets": [
      "built/**/*"
    ]
  }
}

seem like good, but I don't know how to config websocket server. for terminal result, click the .exe file, it's have two window: one for static resource server other for websocket server

Thanks @Sunny for check language program and typo.

The problem was resolved.

Code:

// static resource server
app.use('/', express.static(__dirname + '/built/packaged/'));

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
  res.sendFile(__dirname + '/views/index.html', err => console.log(err));
});

then, embed the child_process for open a new websocket server:

const child_process = require('child_process');
child_process.exec(`node ./my-websocket.js --direction="C:/Users/"`, (err, stdout, 
  stderr) =>  { // ...});
