I am in the process of learning Node.js and web dev all together, I am coming from a mobile dev background and haven't coded in a few years.
I cloned a project from github and was planning on building on top of it for a learning project.
I am running npm install to add some dependencies to the project and they seem to be installing properly. They are succesfully being added to the node_modules directory as well as being added as a dependancy to package.json
However when running the app I get these errors
ReferenceError: Multer is not defined

There are other dependancies that are working properly within the app but those are ones that were with the project when I initially forked it.
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var path = require('path');
var formidable = require('formidable');
var fs = require('fs');
var multer = require("multer");
var bodyParser = require("body-parser");
var Minio = require("minio");
I added multer bodyParsr and Minio those don't work everything else came with the original clone and work flawlessly when I remove the packages I installed.
Javascript is case sensitive. Your error says Multer is not defined and in your code shown you define var multer = require("multer");
Try var Multer = require("multer");

I have a problem. I am trying to run my NodeJS script using the command:
node /var/script/NodeJS/test.js
But when I run it, I get the following error:
/var/script/NodeJS/node_modules/node-fetch/src/index.js:9
import http from 'http';
^^^^

I have already run the following commands in the terminal:
cd /var/script/NodeJS
npm install
npm install http
npm install node-fetch
I am running node version: v10.19.0
Here is the code I have that gives the error:
const express = require("express");
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const app = express();
const PORT = process.env.PORT = 8787;
let router = express.Router();
It's just the imports, but this code already gives the provided error!
I can see both the modules in the node_module folder, so why am I getting this error and how can I fix this?
This can happen if you use a 3.X version of node-fetch and a Node version less than 12.20.0
Because node-fetch from v3 is an ESM-only module.
According to the documents you must install a version 2.X or less
npm install node-fetch#2
rename file extension from .js to .mjs
filename must be: test.mjs
import fetch from 'node-fetch';
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
let router = express.Router();
const PORT = process.env.PORT = 8787;
also keep in mind node-fetch has requriements on node version:
https://github.com/node-fetch/node-fetch/blob/main/package.json#L14
"engines": {
"node": "^12.20.0 || ^14.13.1 || >=16.0.0"
},
run it as: node test.mjs
Bonus: If You don't like to use mjs and etc try to install node-fetch#2.6.5
npm i --save node-fetch#2.6.5
Im Learning to make a web application with Node.js Express JS.
When I run my server.js
$ node server
I get this

my server.js file is like this...
server.js:
var express = require('./config/express');
var app = express();
app.listen(3000);
module.exports = app;
console.log('Server running at http://localhost:3000/');
before doing this I run this command in the root of my app
npm install
Here is a like to a picture to show you the project folder structure I have.
I dont understand why cannot find module './config/express' while apparently the folder structure is fine.
Any idea??

after installing npm, you should try express installation into your project directory as
npm install express
it will create node_modules of express.
then you should use
var express = require('express');
Your server.js doesn't work because express.js file into config folder create confusion.
Change the name from express.js to init.express.js
and then it will work.
I have a node.js app which uses express and runs locally with no problems. However, on Azure I am seeing:
Application has thrown an uncaught exception and is terminated:
Error: Cannot find module 'express'

The packages.json file contains the dependency:
"express": "^4.15.3"
Assuming something had gone wrong with the npm install, I went to the Kudu remote execution console and ran npm outdated. No packages are missing.
This is my server.js file:
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const app = express();
const port = process.env.port || 8000;
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
require('./app/routes')(app);
app.listen(port, () => {
});
I'm assuming it is something very obvious, but I can't work out what I'm missing.
Assuming your Azure App Service is Windows environment, try to include node_modules in the wwwroot.
There isn't much we can really help with here, as the error you have provided indicates that the express npm package has not been installed properly. So, I would suggest that you use App Service Editor (https://[YouAppName].scm.azurewebsites.net/dev/wwwroot/) to troubleshoot this issue by checking whether the express folder exists in the node_module.
You can also run command npm install in the console, restart your app and run it (Ctrl + F5) in the browser.
Currently I am working on online yaml code editor. I use expressjs framework for it. I want to install yamljs module to it. How do I install it? Because following code line cause to an error.
var YAML = require('yamljs');
This is the code segment
var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var favicon = require('serve-favicon');
var logger = require('morgan');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var routes = require('./routes/index');
var users = require('./routes/users');
var YAML = require('yamljs');
var app = express();
// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
This is the error
Error: Cannot find module 'yamljs'

I use webstorm for coding. I have installed yamljs module using
npm install yamljs
This library is perfectly using if I run my code manually from the ubuntu terminal. But When I run the expressjs project, It gives above error.
could you provide more information like the error text?
Have you tried
npm install yamljs
to make the module accessible to the node environment?

Make sure your node_modules folder is available in the same or a more outer directory than the folder of your executing script.
NOTE: I have tried other solution given here but it didn't work
A newbie with NodeJs. I am trying to follow AngularJS pro and got stuck with setting up NodeJs server. According to book, I installed nodejs and then installed connect package using
npm install connect
then downloaded angularjs in folder next to nodejs folder. Then wrote server.js file to connect to server. Here is the content of the file:
var connect = require('connect');
connect.createServer(connect.static("../angularjs")).listen( 5000);
When I run this server.js file using:
node server.js
I get following error:
function app(req, res, next){ app.handle(req, res, next); }
merge(app, proto);
merge(app, EventEmitter.prototype);
app.route = '/';
app.stack = [];
return app;
has no method 'static'

Any ideas guys?
Thanks.
The connect package has made some changes in the latest 3.x version of their code base, moving the static middleware to it's own package. You can view the list of packages that have been moved here.
So you have two options:
Option 1
You can install an older, 2.x version of connect and use that as is:
$ npm install connect#2.X.X
Installing the latest 2.X.X version will allow your current implementation to function properly.
Option 2
You can continue to use the 3.x version of connect, and also add serve-static:
$ npm install serve-static
You would also have to update your server.js file to include the new serve-static module:
var connect = require('connect'),
serveStatic = require('serve-static');
var app = connect();
app.use(serveStatic("../angularjs"));
app.listen(5000);
The answer by dylants is helpful. However, here are the exact steps that I followed in order to resolve the same error.
1. From the command window , change directory to the directory in which you installed nodeJS.
2. After having already ran npm install connect, run:
npm install serve-static
3. Create a file named server.js with the following code:
var connect = require('connect'),
serveStatic = require('serve-static');
var app = connect();
app.use(serveStatic("./angularjs"));
app.listen(5000);
While still in command window, and still in the directory in which you have installed nodeJS, run:
node server.js
Navigate to the URL
http://localhost:5000/test.html
This should work. Here is my directory configuration:
C:\NodeJSInstallLocation\angularjs
var connect = require('connect'),
serveStatic = require('serve-static');
connect().use(
serveStatic("angularjs")
).listen(5000);
You might want to try something like this
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
app.use(express.static('angularjs'));
Try this...
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const path = require('path');
app.use('',express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/static/')));
