Answer 1

I ran into the same problem while trying to follow a Nodejs tutorial by w3schools. I copied the following code from them:

exports.myDateTime = function () {
return Date();
};

That, however, wouldn't work for me. What resolved the problem for me was adding module. before the exports keyword like this:

module.exports.myDateTime = function () {
return Date();
};
