require express on nuxt

Question

I have some issues on importing the express inside my nuxt project;

I have to use the express to make a login page but the express importing is relating the following problem:

This is how my code is set right now. I have already imported dotenv correctly but the express did not work;

export default () => {
  require('../node_modules/dotenv').config()
  const express = require('express')

  const app = express()
}

Note: I already tried to search for ('../node_modules/express') and the same problem appears

This is also my dependencies, I think it all correct

  "@nuxtjs/auth-next": "5.0.0-1667386184.dfbbb54",

Anyone knows what could be?

Env variables are already baked-in: https://stackoverflow.com/a/67705541/8816585 As for express, you should use `import` rather than `require` since we're doing modern code nowadays. Where are you doing your import also? And what version of Node are you using? — kissu, Nov 10 '22 at 13:12
npm --version: 8.19.2 | node --version: v16.18.1 These are the node/npm version on my computer; "engines": {"node": ">=14.0.0"} this is what I found on my package.json. About your advise to use import i've tried this but the same problem comes: import express from '../node_modules/express'. My import is inside a folder called 'mainfolder/middleware' and the node_module is inside 'mainfolder/node_modules' — João Denari, Nov 10 '22 at 14:16
Node version is fine! The middleware directory is used for client-side, where you cannot import `express` unfortunately. What do you need it for? — kissu, Nov 10 '22 at 14:19
I try to make a auth/login into a nuxt project. I already did that in a node project, but never inside nuxt which I am kind a new; In my node auth project I used to use express, mongoose, bcrypt and jsonwebtoken. And basically I was trying to make the same logical inside nuxt — João Denari, Nov 10 '22 at 14:29
maybe i am doing in the wrong folder, right? Is it not supposted to be inside middleware? — João Denari, Nov 10 '22 at 14:30
Here is how to handle an express server in Nuxt2: https://stackoverflow.com/a/72102209/8816585 (Nuxt3 is far more powerful on that aspect) Nuxt does have some "Node.js" capabilities but it's not it's main focus/strength. In your case, you would be better having a separate Node server hosted somewhere or a serverless function. Here is a bit more context on how the (pure) server side can work in Nuxt2: https://stackoverflow.com/a/67689121/8816585 — kissu, Nov 10 '22 at 14:34
