This way, However, didn't work for me so I made a different route for every file in a particular directory. Therefore, going to that path meant opening that file.

function getroutes(list){

        app.get("/"+ element, function(req, res) { 
            res.sendFile(__dirname + "/public/extracted/" + element); 
       }); 
   }); 
}

I called this function passing the list of filename in the directory __dirname/public/extracted and it created a different route for each filename which I was able to render on server side.
