Node.js require is not loading local file

Question

var typeOfUser = require('../js/type.js');  
var typeOfUser = require('./js/type.js');  
var typeOfUser = require('./type.js');

None of the above lines (written within a file named dashboardJS.js situated in folder named js) are working. require here is not working. The folder structure is:

Project_on_dairy/MDMS/js/type.js  
Project_on_dairy/MDMS/js/dashboardJS.js

If it is written within a file named 'dashboardJS.js', then you should require it instead. Like this, require('./dashboardJS.js') — Sandip Ghosh

What is the result of console.log(typeOfUser) after your require ? undefined ? — Sparw

Define "not working". What did you expect to happen? What actually happened? Were there any error messages? — Quentin

Maybe it will works if you try with something like this ?

var typeOfUser=require(__dirname + '/MDMS/js/type.js');

Hope it helps.
