Solution

  • path package provides functionality so that you don't need to worry about what directory separator you need to use.

    const path = require('path');
path.join(parentDir, childDir);

    And dot represents current directory i.e.

    project index file path: /home/user/projects/project-name/index.js
you are in <project-name> folder
so index file path will be ./index.js
