You can include your css in todo.html

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">

or for JavaScript

<script src="scripts.js"></script>

if you need to build a web application using nodejs it is recommended to using nodejs framework like express.js (https://expressjs.com/) which already have basic building blocks to up and running quick web apps. please refer express.js documentation for basic routing and serving static files to build a simple web application. these are some starting guides
