Trying to put css in a separate file for the node.js treehouse API project and I am not able to using conventional methods. If I make a seperate file named "css.styles" would I have to write it in the node file as
renderer.view("styles", {}, response);
or would I have to use something else?

Or if you're up for some challenge, you can make it yourself by making a router for static assets, dynamically determine content-type and then pass it to the response.
