I have entities directory that store user.js file like this: 

"use strict";

class User {}

module.exports = User;

and in my index.js:

var User = require("./entities/User")

but I got an error

try replacing User = require("./entities/User") with User = require("./entities/user") because its based off of file name - Gurbakhshish Singh
Check your file name. The require statement is looking for exports in a file. - jeanpier_re

The require function it's case sensitive so you have to write the path exactly how you created.

if you use the U lowercase it's gonna work :D

You should try this code:

user.js

var User = function() {};
module.exports = User;

var User = class User {   
};

module.exports.User = User;

index.js

var User = require("./user");
console.log(User);

You can also try below code:

user.js:

var User={};
module.exports = User;

var User = class User {    
};

module.exports.User = User;

index.js:

var User = require("./user");
console.log(User);
