Cant find module

Question

Trying to make some economy commands, currently trying to make the command that sends the total amount of coins, the message author has, to the message author. i continue to get "cant find module" errors. i have tried searching for this error, but i seem to not be able to find a solution.

My file construct - https://i.stack.imgur.com/sER3g.png

const { RichEmbed } = require("discord.js");
let coins = require("../coins.json");

module.exports = {
    name: "coins",
    descriptions: "shows how many coins you have",
    category: "Economy",
    run: async (client, message, args) => {
        //coins
        if(!coins[message.author.id]){
            coins[message.author.id] = {
                coins: 0
            };
        }
        let uCoins = coins[message.author.id].coins;

        let coinEmbed = new RichEmbed()
            .setAuthor(message.author.username)
            .setcolor("RANDOM")
            .addField("💸", uCoins);

        message.author.send(coinEmbed);
    }
}

Answer 1

As per the file structure you linked, your require is looking for the coins.json in the commands folder, as you only prefixed the file name with ../ once. In order to get your file, prefix the name with ../../ , so it goes up two folders. Your line would then look like this:

let coins = require("../../coins.json");

Answer 2

If it is due to incorrect path you can use the code bellow. It will find the json file anywhere in your code.

const { join } = require("path");
let coins = require(`${join(process.cwd(), "coins.json")}`);
