Confirming the Module Path
When requiring a locally installed module in your code, use the appropriate relative path:
- The path should lead from your current file to the module’s location within node_modules.
- For instance, if the module is in node_modules/my-module, you’d use in your code.
const myModule = require('./node_modules/my-module');
- Double-checking the path ensures you’re referencing the correct module.
