error 'MODULE NOT FOUND', Cannot find module

I am trying to resole the pathing issues:

this is what my files structure look like:
/www/html/

• /database/

1. databaseConnection.js

• /scripts/

1. LoginPageScript.js

• server.js
• index.html

in the database js file, the following code:

const mysql = require('mysql2');

const pool = mysql.createPool({
  connectionLimit: 10,
  host: process.env.DB_HOST,
  port: process.env.DB_PORT,
  user: process.env.DB_USER,
  password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD,
  database: process.env.DATABASE
});


pool.getConnection((err, connection) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error('Error connetcting to database: ', err);
    return;
  }
  console.log('Connection to database succefully established!');
});

module.exports = { pool };

exports pool module, I assume

now i am trying to import pool into another script, in this case LoginPageScript.js, using:

const { pool } = require('../database/databaseConnection.js');

but the error thrown is:

Cannot find module '../database/databaseConnection'

    '/var/www/html/server.js'
  ]
}

I tried experimenting with different pathing like:

1. /database/databaseConnection.js
2. ./database/databaseConnection.js
3. ../database/databaseConnection.js

none seem to be working

>Solution :

Try traversing via dot annotation to databaseConnection.js file.

And try using:

const { pool } = require('./database/databaseConnection.js');
