Webpage shows null when trying to access it.

Hello,
I am using a NodeJS Micro and it is configured this way:

require('dotenv').config();
const express = require("express");
const path = require('path');

const app = express();
const port = 7001;

const http = require('http');
var server = http.createServer(app);
const io = require("socket.io")(server);

let socket;

io.on('connection', function (socket_) {
    socket = socket_;
    console.log("Connected succesfully to the socket ...");
});

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname + '/public')));
app.use(express.urlencoded({extended:true}));

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

server.listen(process.env.PORT || port, function() {
    console.log(`Server started on http://localhost:${port}`);
})

module.export = server;

Instead of showing the home page, this is what is shown:

1. Deta Micros don't support long-living sockets. see #12
2. the server component we will run must be called app so your export expression should be: module.export = app.

@Electric-Dragon ok, but please be aware that this might lead to unexpected behavior.

[Electric-Dragon]

@aavshr Can you suggest a way to use deta in an existing nodeJS application then?

[aavshr]

@Electric-Dragon you can use deta new command. More here: https://docs.deta.sh/docs/cli/commands#deta-new

@aavshr I tried it but the website still shows null

I fixed it...apart from the module.exports=app there was an issue in the environment variables
