“Require” is built-in with NodeJS require is typically used with NodeJS to read and execute CommonJS modules. These modules can be either built-in modules like http or custom-written modules. With require , you can include them in your JavaScript files and use their functions and variables. // built-in moduels.
Require Stack is a wrapper around require method, which makes it easier to get syntax error with proper error stack when wrapping require call under try/catch block.
A folder can be used as a module if the folder contains any of the following files (in lookup order): package.json, index.js, or index.node.
In this case, the folder has a package.json file that, among some other things, states that the main file of the module is the index.js file in the same directory. So the require('../') call you asked about could be changed to require('../index.js').
See Node.js Documentation - Folders as Modules for more information.
