const ErrorHandler = (err, req, res, next) => {
    logging.error(err);
    let message = 'An error occured, please try again.';
    let statusCode = 500;

export default ErrorHandler;

The above is my custom middleware. I have appropiately imported it on my main app.js file using:

const ErrorHandler = require('./middleware/ErrorHandler');
app.use(ErrorHandler);

And my post route looks like:

router.post('/submit-recipe', getUserMiddleware, upload.any(), async (req, res, next) => {

I have followed along some other posts such as this one, and all my routers are correctly being exported/imported.

Am I missing something obvious here?

• javascript
• html
• node.js
• express

• EDIT: I was mixing Common.js exports and ES exports, which was not working... – Hope Commented Mar 18 at 18:37
• 1 You're mixing ES and CJS modules. require('./middleware/ErrorHandler') is likely an object, this depends on your setup, which the question doesn't mention. Can be fixed with module.exports = ErrorHandler – Estus Flask Commented Mar 18 at 18:39
• 1 @Hope then you'll want to probably delete your question, since you fixed things yourself mere minutes after asking for help, so you didn't really need help =) – Mike 'Pomax' Kamermans Commented Mar 18 at 19:35
• I disagree with the commenter above. Since its fine to ask and answer a question yourself if you already know the answer, certainly it is if you figure it out a few minutes after you post the question – Starship Remembers Shadow Commented Mar 18 at 20:09

This can be fixed by changing const ErrorHandler = require('./middleware/ErrorHandler'); to const ErrorHandler = module.exports = ErrorHandler. You seem to have mixed up Common.js exports and ES exports.
