How Do I Access Libraries I'm Adding Via Require, In My Node/koa Server

I'm trying to require an external library in my Node app (Koa server). I'm adding njwt in my main server.js file var njwt = require('njwt'); But I can't access njwt, in my route ha

Solution 1:

If I am understanding correctly, all you need to do is change it to: var njwt = require('./njwt');

This is assuming you have already done an npm install in the njwt directory.

Solution 2:

I think the issue is how to send njwt instance to your router, You can pass njwt instance like this,

require('./routes')(njwt);

Solution 3:

I'm not sure if this is the best approach. I just ended up requiring the library in the route handler

const router = require('koa-router')();
router.post('/register', asyncfunction(ctx, next) {
    var jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
    debugger;

And I'm able to access the library this way (the other two methods didn't work for me).
