reference error:html is not defined

Question

I am new to JavaScript . I wants to run a html page index.html but could not. how can html be not defined. please help. the code here just creates a server and runs a html page.

  var http=require('http');
      var fs=require('fs');
      fs.readFile('index.html',(err,html)=>
      {if (err) throw err;})
       var server=http.createServer((req,res)=>{`enter code here`
       res.statusCode=200;
       res.setHeader('contentType','text/html');
       res.write(html);
       //res.writeHead(200,{'Content-Type':'text/html'});
       res.end();
      }).listen(8081);

          console.log('server started');

Do you want to serve an html ?

var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
fs.readFile('index.html', (err,html) => {
    if (err) { throw err; }
    var server = http.createServer((req,res) => {
        res.statusCode=200;
        res.setHeader('contentType', 'text/html');
        res.write(html);
        res.end();
    }).listen(8081);
    console.log('server started');
});

That's why you should always indent, format and read your own code (and maybe consider using linter because it would have told you exactly what was wrong) because I'm not doing your job next time.
