app.js 

/**CUSTOM_MODULES**/

var module1 = require('module1.js');

/**MODULES_END**/

module1.js

function module1(){
    //My code
}

module.exports = module1;

module1.js is in the same directory as my app.js.

I have tried countless things but nothing seems to work.

I have tried:

 var module1 = require('module1.js');
 var module1 = require('./module1.js');
 var module1 = require('../module1.js');
 var module1 = require('module1');

Try var module1 = require('./module1');

Didn't work. module1.js is not in any extra folders, same directory as app.js – tery.blargh Oct 10 '16 at 3:46

There is a nice tutorial on this if it helps. sitepoint.com/understanding-module-exports-exports-node-js Follow the steps. – Fida Oct 10 '16 at 3:47
    
Thanks, but I don't think there is anything wrong with the code, rather a method I haven't done or so – tery.blargh Oct 10 '16 at 3:54

Adding your module as a dependency to your application would resolve this issue. To achieve that try the below command.

npm install module1 --save

Hope this helps!

I did this, changed name to index.js and put in module1 folder, it finally recognized the module1 folder (thank you), but it seems to not initiate index.js because now it's calling an error on "module1 is not a function" in my app.js – tery.blargh Oct 10 '16 at 4:00

Can you please post your index.js code? – David R Oct 10 '16 at 4:02
    
It is the module.js I have posted. I also switched the module1 package.json from "main": "github.js" to "main": "index.js" – tery.blargh Oct 10 '16 at 4:04

Can you post your directory structure if possible? – David R Oct 10 '16 at 4:10

No. I meant the directory/file hierarchy – David R Oct 10 '16 at 4:15
