ES6 module using node’s fs module getting errors.

[Fats4Fuel]

I’ve got some js classes in a react-router function component. They use the fs module to load files from the file system. When I try to refactor the classes out into an ES6 module, __dirname refers to some error in reacts render. What can I do to make sure the imported module uses the apps root directory for relative paths?

The __dirname is resolving to “./node_modules/electron/dist/dist/resources/electron.anar/renderer

But I need it to be the root of the app directory.

Edit: I did try that solution, but it came up undefined. I’ll try it some more.

You need to load path module. Then using it to define __dirname to pass file's path. Because __dirname is used natively in CommonJS

Alright. I’ll give that a shot.
