Facing issues when uploaded a zip code in aws lambda

Question

I am new to aws and just started working around with aws lambda by following some youtube tutorials and was able to write aws lambda functions successfully on the web editor itself.

But I tried with the uploading zip file from my local system in which I wrote a node.js code that uses modules "fs" and "fill-pdf". But when I tried to run the code it was giving me an error. 

"error" : module not found "/var/task/index". I searched through the internet and found some links like https://github.com/lob/lambda-pdftk-example I tried this but it also shows the same error.

Here is my code : 

    var index = require('index');

    var fillPdf = require("fill-pdf");

    var fs = require('fs');

    var formDate = {

    'Employee Name': 'MyName',

    'Company Name': 'ComapnyName'

     };

    var pdfTemplatePath = "my.pdf";

 

 

    fillPdf.generatePdf(formDate, pdfTemplatePath, function(err,   

    output) {

    if ( !err ) {

 

         fs.writeFile('message.pdf', output, function (err) {

    if (err) throw err;

    console.log('It\'s saved! in same location.');

    });

     }

   });

The thing is that I don't know what could be the reason that this error is coming.

While zipping the project folder, do not zip the folder directly. Select the contents of your project folder, and zip those files. Make sure when you unzip you get the contents of the folder rather than the folder itself.
