          if you want to do something like that you need to use variable and you can do it like that



          const path = require('path');
          const app_root = path.dirname(require.main.filename);


          And then



          const auth = require(`${app_root}/controllers/auth`)


          *Note that this is the reference to the folder where your main file is located
