Node.js "module not found"

Coding Help

So, I want to require config.js which is located a directory below.

- config.js
- lib /
         - adduser.js

When I require it as ../config.js from lib/adduser.js, it returns this:

Error: Cannot find module '../config.js'
Require stack:
- /app/api/json/index.js
- /app/lib/adduser.js

    at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:555:12)
    at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:666:19)

This is lib/adduser.js

const bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
const config = require('../config.js');
const api = require('../api/' + config.apifolder + '/index.js');

// Run Checks and stuff
var args = process.argv.slice(2);
if (!args[0]){
  console.error('The Username is required!');
  process.exit(1)
} else if (!args[1]){
  console.error('The Password is required!');
  process.exit(1)
} else {

// Encrypt on Passing checks.
var salt = bcrypt.genSaltSync(10);

console.log(api.adduser(args[0], bcrypt.hashSync("password", salt)));
}

Try doing

const config = require(__dirname + ā€œ/config.jsā€) or remove .js if that didnā€™t work.

It didnā€™t work with either, but, I added ā€œā€¦/ā€ to it and it worked! Thanks!

onst config = require(__dirname + "/../config.js")

The error is caused by Node.js not being able to find a module (in this case, array-flatten)

npm install array-flatten --save should solve your problem
