NodeJS Localhost LAN connection problem

Question

Hello, I have developed a NodeJS server code here below

####################################

var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  fs.readFile('mywebsite.html', function(err, data) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
    res.write(data);
    res.end();
  });
}).listen(8080);

####################################

But whenever I run the code, this runs on my computer local host without any problem. But whenever I try connecting my mobile with computer LAN and opening the port 'localhost:8080' it says 'webpage refused to connect'

I can not find out what the problem is here , even after being connected to the same LAN in my mobile, port 8080 throws refuse error.

Do Wifi and Hotspot matter ?
Because my Computer's Wifi is connected to my Mobile Hotspot

Any solutions?
Thanks for your valuable time

Answer 1

no, instead of
http://localhost:8080

you should use
http://192.168.2.xxx:8080
when connecting from mobile

Answer 2

Then, it's not localhost, you need to find the IP address of your computer.

Something starting with 192.168.x.xxx
