node.js require.paths.unshift - node.js

I'm trying to use webservice in order to expose a REST service on nodejs.
However there are numerous calls in the module and it's dependencies (journey, resourcer) to the now deprecated 'require.paths' , mainly "require.paths.unshift('...')".
i'm using the latest nodejs version (0.6.7).
A. I would like to get this module to work as a first choice. How can i replace require.paths.unshift without causing any errors?
B. If not i would a recommendation of a different module that would let me expose RESTful services easily using nodejs.

Nest JS 7 to 8 upgrade for CVE-2021-3749 - axios package vulnerability

I have a nest js application with multiple rest apis exposed. Recently got a twistlock scan vulnerability related to axios package. For this i need to update my application from nestjs 7 to nestjs 8. When I am trying to upgrade the nest js version, my http post calls are not working which i am doing to the other apis. May I know what might be the reason for this? I am not getting any error also it is just hanging there with no call being made to the other api.

How can I use react with a custom webserver?

I want to use React for a project I am working on, but I also want to use an API.
How can I do it?
I have tried to Google this and ask different people, but I have not got a response yet, so I thought I would ask here. I want to use express and maybe not use create-react-app (as it takes up a lot of storage).
Working on a custom server doesen't preclude the use of an API.
If you want fetch the API from the express server and inject it directly on react frontend you need to enable server side rendering (useful post) and pass the data collected as a props from the server (check this example).
Rather then you can build your react project (using even create-react-app) and build an express server who return the index.html on call.
Personally I prefer the first one solution.

Is it possible to substitute the requestjs module with electron's net module

I'm working on an Electron app that heavily uses the Nodejs request module. However I need to add support for proxies. This looks to be built into Electron namely in it's net module.
Net looks similar to the request module. Is it possible to substitute it with request? i.e. To replace request completely by net?

How do I pass a value into nodeJS from another client-side javascript document?

I'm currently new to node.js, and I am making a chat-bot based application. However, the IBM Natural Language Understanding API does not have documentation for regular javascript code, and instead requires the utilization of the nodeJS server. I had no knowledge of nodeJS beforehand.
The application is intended to work as follows: A user types in a large corpus of text, then the "chatbot" sends the text to FireBase and to a nodeJS module to have main keywords extracted by the IBM API. These main keywords are then stored into Firebase and then extracted from firebase by the web application to display the keyword text. I tried to run node.js, but I cannot seem to pass the variable from the chatBox into nodeJS. I am also using localhost:5000 as a port for my website. Where is my logic flawed, and what is the best way to resolve this issue?

Nodejs - Is there any module existing similar to request module in nodejs?

I want to make rest api calls from node server. I have currently request module in my mind.
Would you suggest any other best module for REST calls(get/post) for production practise in nodejs ??

Restify was designed specifically for serving RESTful APIs (instead of serving web pages). And it can call RESTful APIs as well.
Here is a nodeJS module called "Deployd" that will help you in creating REST APIs (get/post) in seconds, its community is very limited though. Its quite powerfull as well.
Simply install deployd, it expects nodeJS and mongoDB to be installed already. Deployd provides PHPMyAdmin like web interface through which you can create your APIs and for fine tuning work on deployd's Event API which gives you control on behavior of individual events like GET/POST/DELETE/PUT/VALIDATE etc
I'm using Sails.js to create Rest API. Very easy to use!
Sails.js automatically generates a RESTful JSON API for your app. That means you don't have to write any backend code to build simple database apps.
Install:
sudo npm -g install sails
Create app:
sails new testProject
Lift server:
cd testProject
sails lift
And you are ready!
Update
Regarding your comment, you don't want to create a REST API, but rather consume an existing one.
I found this node module called Node-rest-client. I haven't tried it myself, but looks like this could be what you are looking for.
Allows connecting to any API REST and get results as js Object.
