How to split a nodejs application into components?

Question

Node.js

Good afternoon, I'm writing a server for a NodeJS game and I ran into such a problem: I want to split my application into components, such as: registration, authorization, etc.

I started like this:

index.js

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

app.listen(3000, () => { console.log('server successfully started') })

module.exports = app

Then in the components/auth/auth.js file I wrote the following code:

components/auth/auth.js

const app = require('../../index.js')

app.post('/auth', (req, res) => {
    res.end('request has been handled')
})

Then I ran the whole thing, made a postman request to localhost:3000/auth and got a 404 error.

If I move this code into an index.js file , then everything will work.
