I am learning MERN application development. I got a incomplete MERN application and trying to run the application. My package.json file is like below.
package.json

My server.js file is like below
server.js
import 'reflect-metadata';
import sourceMapSupport from 'source-map-support';
import { Ignitor } from '@adonisjs/core/build/standalone';
sourceMapSupport.install({ handleUncaughtExceptions: false })
new Ignitor(__dirname).httpServer().start()
I am trying to run the application using npm start command. But I am getting below error.
file:///home/foysal/Music/machineshop/server.js:20
new Ignitor(__dirname).httpServer().start()
^
ReferenceError: __dirname is not defined in ES module scope
This file is being treated as an ES module because it has a '.js' file extension and '/home/foysal/Music/machineshop/package.json' contains "type": "module". To treat it as a CommonJS script, rename it to use the '.cjs' file extension.
at file:///home/foysal/Music/machineshop/server.js:20:13
What is the meaning of this code new Ignitor(__dirname).httpServer().start() ? Is it correct code ?
Previously I worked in another MERN application. server.js file of that project is not similar like server.js file of this project.
Am I doing anything wrong ?
Could any one help me to run the application ?
