I have uploaded images to a folder named uploads on my server. I would like to access the images through a url e.g. http://localhost:3000/uploads/image.jpg. I have tried to configure it to work two different ways but have been unsuccessful.
ServeStaticModule.forRoot({
rootPath: join(__dirname, '..', 'uploads')
})
app.useStaticAssets(join(__dirname, '..', '/uploads'), {
index: false,
prefix: 'uploads'
});
Is there something I may be missing?

Are you certain that join(__dirname, '..', '/uploads') points to where you think it does?

@humble juniper Maybe it doesn't. Here is my project structure.

when I console log this join(__dirname, '..', '/uploads') i get this /dist/uploads. The dist folder does not include an uploads subfolder

So you probably need another '..' in there, or use join(process.cwd(), 'uploads') instead

I just got it to work using a different method.
