html - How do I serve static files through Node.js locally?

I have the following file locations :

file:///Users/MyName/Developer/sitename/scripts (contains all .js files..)
file:///Users/MyName/Developer/sitename/css (contains all .css files..)
file:///Users/MyName/Developer/sitename/images (contains all .jpg/png/etc. files..)
file:///Users/MyName/Developer/sitename/sitename.html
file:///Users/MyName/Developer/sitename/server.js

Inside sitename.html I load all necessary files as follows for example :

<html>
  <head>
    <script src="scripts/somefile.js"></script>
  </head>
  ...
</html>

So whenever I open up file:///Users/MyName/Developer/sitename/sitename.html everything works fine.

However, whenever I try to load file:///Users/MyName/Developer/sitename/sitename.html via a local Node.js server that I've setup (server file location : file:///Users/MyName/Developer/sitename/server.js) as follows :

var http = require("http"); 
var fs = require("fs");

fs.readFile('./sitename.html', function (err, html) 
{
    if (err) throw err; 

    http.createServer(function (request,response)
    {  
        // serve site
        if (request.url === "/")
        {
            response.writeHeader(200, {"Content-Type": "text/html"});  
            response.write(html);  
        }
        response.end(); 
    }).listen(8080); 
});

sitename.html is found and loaded but all the other files that are supposed to load through it fail to load because they're all given the prefix http://localhost:8080/ (http://localhost:8080/scripts/somefile.jsis not a valid file path for example).

It looks like as soon as the server is created (inside http.createServer(.....);) the context changes and the parent directory now becomes http://localhost:8080/ instead of file:///Users/MyName/Developer/sitename/ which makes sense I guess but is not very helpful when using files that are still stored locally.

How do I work around that? Is the fact that I'm storing server.js (just for the time being) in the same directory making things even more confusing?

Thanks!

The easiest solution I found on serving local static files is to use Http-Server.

Its usage is dead simple. After installing it globally

 npm install http-server -g

Go to the root directory you want to serve

cd <dir>
http-server

That's it!
