To set up two different static directories with Node.js Express framework, we can call express.static and app.use with different static file paths.

For instance, we write

app.use("/public", express.static(__dirname + "/public"));
app.use("/public2", express.static(__dirname + "/public2"));

to expose the /public URL path to __dirname + "/public" with express.static.

Likewise, we expose the /public2 URL path to __dirname + "/public2" with express.static.
