I have just attempted to make a SPA but i am not able to resolve index.html dependencies (like including associated css, js files). All the js and css file are not able to load into browser and show 404 error in dev console.

I made it work with this little edit:
var assets = function(){
return {
method: 'GET',
path: '/{param*}',
handler: {
directory :{
path : './',
index: false
}
}
}
}
the ./ path is actually relative to where you are when you run node app.js.
So make sure you are in the root folder when you run it. As node ../app.js doesn't work !!
Since that's not very clean, avoid using paths that way and stick to using path.join(__dirname, 'path/to/folder') with __dirname as a reference.
Here is a cleaner solution for you
var assets = function(){
return {
method: 'GET',
path: '/{param*}',
handler: {
directory :{
path : path.join(__dirname, '../..'),
index: false
}
}
}
}
__dirname is :
The name of the directory that the currently executing script resides in.
