I'm trying to use this module:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-formidable
but when I launch my app terminal returns:
app.use(formidable());
^
TypeError: formidable is not a function
why?

Can you show some code how you require the module?– MoldaCommented Oct 13, 2016 at 9:57

You need to add formidable to your app after you are done installing it with npm i -S express-formidable
Copy paste from the readme,
const express = require('express');
const formidable = require('express-formidable');
var app = express();
app.use(formidable());

Really I added firstly formidable and then express-formidable :-) how ever I resolved reinstall all modules that I use on my app ... perhaps some incompatibility between old nodue_modules folder and the new one! Commented Oct 13, 2016 at 12:18
I resolve reinstalling the moduels that I have on my app. I did also a clean on my package.json so now works correctly!
Here its are the two parts of my package that I change:
old:
"dependencies": {
"base64url": "^2.0.0",
"body-parser": "1.9.2",
"compression": "^1.6.2",
"connect": "^3.5.0",
"connect-redis": "^3.1.0",
"cookie-parser": "^1.4.3",
"crypto": "0.0.3",
"express": "4.10.1",
"express-formidable": "^0.1.3",
"express-session": "^1.14.1",
"formidable": "^1.0.17",
"fs-extra": "^0.30.0",
"helmet": "^2.1.3",
"jwt-simple": "~0.5.0",
"morgan": "1.5.0",
"multer": "^1.2.0",
"mysql": "^2.9.0",
"path": "^0.12.7",
"router": "^1.1.4",
"time": "^0.11.4"
}
and the new one:
"dependencies": {
"base64url": "^2.0.0",
"body-parser": "^1.15.2",
"compression": "^1.6.2",
"cookie-parser": "^1.4.3",
"express": "^4.14.0",
"express-formidable": "^1.0.0",
"express-session": "^1.14.1",
"fs-extra": "^0.30.0",
"helmet": "^2.3.0",
"morgan": "^1.7.0",
"mysql": "^2.11.1"
}
perhaps there is some incompatibility between the modules ...
