Answer 1

You can change your views default path:

app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, '../views'))

Answer 2

const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const port = 3000

require("./route/route.js")(app);

app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, '../views'))
app.set('view engine','ejs');


app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}!`))
