Im trying to use a simple "colors" module to set cli-colors in my logs, nothing special.
Well, i have a module called colors.js in the path ./app/config/colors.js, the content:
var clc = require('cli-color');
var colors = {
ok: clc.cyan,
error: clc.red.bold,
warn: clc.yellowBright,
high: clc.white.bgGreen
};
module.exports = colors;
Simple. Well, when i require it in the server.js (at the root of the project, above of /app) it works fine, but, when i try to use it in the ./app/config/db.js it throws me an error:
Error: Cannot find module './app/config/colors.js'

Why if it works in the server.js?
You probably required the module using a relative path.
Relative paths are resolved in relation to the requiring module's location.
Quoting docs
A module prefixed with './' is relative to the file calling require(). That is, circle.js must be in the same directory as foo.js for require('./circle') to find it.
So if you did a
var whatever = require('./app/config/colors.js');
inside a module located in ./app/config/ then node will look for ./app/config/app/config/colors.js and fail.
If both requiring and required module are in the same directory just use:
var whatever = require('./colors.js');
or even shorter:
var whatever = require('./colors');
