Node Js Error Module.js 549

Question

While starting my application, I get this error. I have already checked and seen that the required module is well installed, and also gave it global access.

Hussains-MacBook-Pro:NodeRest-Shop Hussain$ npm start

> [email protected] start /Users/Hussain/Desktop/Development/Web/NodeRest-Shop
> nodemon server.js

module.js:549
    throw err;
    ^

Answer 1

You're missing the binary-extensions module, as seen in your log:

Error: Cannot find module 'binary-extensions'

It could be that you're missing some dependencies or forgot to include it.

You can install it using npm:

 npm install binary-extensions

And include binaryExtensions in your project:

const binaryExtensions = require('binary-extensions');

Answer 2

I fixed this issue by running:

npm i npm@latest -g

Answer 3

Check your app.js file your index route should be app.use(require('./routes/')); not app.use(require('./routes/index'));
