const GuildCurrency = require("../models/GuildCurrency");




WHat did I do wrong with the path?

😭

How many dots should I use

One ../ for every directory you want to go up. You are in …/commands/prefix/Economy/ and want to go to …/models/. Pretty sure you can count yourself

Alright

so

what if I want to get down

like from economy to models

I don't fully understand

abstract stump

Did you ever use a file explorer? Up doesn’t mean up in that list you have there… it means one level upwards to the containing directory

worn shuttle

const GuildCurrency = require('C:/Users/ouadi/Downloads/Motion Revamp/models/GuildCurrency');

This worked

Just don't know how to do this with dots

YES

I finnaly got it

const GuildCurrency = require('../../../models/GuildCurrency');

so many dots

mdn Dealing with files
A website consists of many files: text content, code, stylesheets, media content, and so on. When you're building a website, you need to assemble these files into a sensible structure on your local computer, make sure they can talk to one another, and get all your content looking right before you eventually upload them to a server. Dealing with files discusses some issues you should be aware of so you can set up a sensible file structure for your website.
