Getting Docker image and Docker-Compose file to work correctly - node.js

Question

I have a docker file and docker compose fiel in my project directory. I am running the docker compose file with the following command
docker-compose up
It builds and runs the different images for the server and database, but I am getting an error that is saying my package.json file is not in the correct directory. I am not sure where it is going wrong.
Here is my docker file
FROM node:10
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json ./app
RUN npm install
COPY . /app
CMD npm start
EXPOSE 5585
this is my docker compose file
web:
image: node
command: npm start
ports:
- "5585:5588"
links:
- db
working_dir: /app
environment:
SEQ_DB: addidas
SEQ_USER: sdfsdf
SEQ_PW: sdfsdfs
PORT: 4242
DATABASE_URL: postgres://sdfsdf:sdfsdfs#localhost:5432/addidas
db:
image: postgres
ports:
- "5432:5432"
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: sdfsdf
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: sdfsdfs
the error that i am getting in my terminal is the following :

You are not using your docker image your docker-compose.yml.
You should point to your Dockerfile:
web:
build: ./path/to/Dockerfile
There is also some mistakes with your configuration. You should share the containers (your web server and the database) on the same network to be able to access the database from the web server.
networks:
mynetwork:
driver: bridge
web:
build: ./path/to/Dockerfile

- db
environment:
SEQ_DB: addidas

SEQ_PW: sdfsdfs
