You can create to folder in your main project.

lib - this will hold all the server related logic.

public - this will have the client side related files. here you can create the sub folders named as : html, css and js. At the time of execution this folder you can serve as static files.

main

---lib

---public

--------html

--------css

--------js

server.js

config.json
