I am new to node.js, this is my first node application so, please excuse me if I'm asking obvious question. I have a file called utils.js and I need to have functions defined in that file to be available in main.js. So I tried giving

require(utils.js)

But it is throwing me this error:

Error: Cannot find module 'utils.js'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)
at Module.require (module.js:364:17)
at require (module.js:380:17)

My main.js is under c:\demo\proj\src\main\main.js and utils.js is under c:\demo\proj\src\utils\utils.js.

I tried below require combinations, but still I am getting cannot find module error:

  • require(/proj/src/utils/utils.js);

  • require(/utils.js);

  • require(c:/demo/proj/src/utils/utils.js);

Even I tried to put it under node_modules folder, but still same error. Can you kindly guide me what I am doing mistake here?

Edit:

I tried putting changing my folder structure as pointed out by @mithunsatheesh as below:

  • project
    • src
      • utils - utils.js
  • main.js

My require is as follows: require('./src/utils/utils.js')

But when I execute node main.js still I am getting below error:

Error: Cannot find module './src/utils/utils.js'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)
at Module.require (module.js:364:17)
javascript node.js
