I am working on a full-stack project using Express.js for the backend and MongoDB for the database. I am encountering an error when trying to start my server. The error message is as follows:

Error: Cannot find module '../controllers/userController'

Here is my project structure:

src/app.js:

const dotenv = require('dotenv');

// Load environment variables from .env file
dotenv.config();

// Connect to MongoDB
mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI, {

  .catch((err) => console.error(err));

const app = express();

// Middleware
app.use(express.json());

// Routes
app.use('/api/users', require('./routes/userRoutes'));

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 5000;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`Server is running on port ${PORT}`);
});

src/routes/userRoutes.js:

const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const userController = require('../controllers/userController');

router.post('/', userController.createUser);
router.get('/', userController.getUsers);

module.exports = router;

src/controllers/userController.js:

  const { name, email, password } = req.body;
  try {
    const newUser = new User({ name, email, password });
    await newUser.save();
    res.status(201).json(newUser);
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(400).json({ error: error.message });
  }
};

exports.getUsers = async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const users = await User.find();
    res.json(users);
  } catch (error) {[enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/z116ogK5.png)

  }
};

src/models/User.js:

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: { type: String, required: true },
  email: { type: String, required: true, unique: true },
  password: { type: String, required: true },
});

module.exports = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);

I have double-checked the file paths and names to ensure there are no typos. Despite this, I still receive the “Cannot find module” error.

Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!:)
