找不到模块'.../models/user' nodejs

Question

I just found a cool project that I want to clone and explore, but I getting this weird error. I tried to read some similar solution here but couldn't find any.

after executing npm start, i getting this error.

You can clone the project from here. https://github.com/didinj/mern-stack-authentication

I have installed as described.

Answer 1

From the Err message:

Error: Cannot find module '../models/user' It simply cannot resolved the path to User.js file.

In your auth.js and passport.js file rename or change this import line of code

var User = require('../models/user');

to

var User = require('../models/User');

I notice the file name is User.js not user.js

Answer 2

First of all you need to execute

npm install

This will install all of project's dependencies.

Answer 3

Your file name is User not user , so please update auth.js and replace

var User = require("../models/user");

with

var User = require("../models/User");

Answer 4

It is not able to find the module named ../models/user because your file name is User.js not 'user.js' inside Models folder.

you can either change the name of the file from 'User.js' to 'user.js'

or

you can change the require('../models/user') to require('../models/User') in your 2 files- auth.js and passport.js
