Please provide us some details on how you are running the example.js file.
Are you running it from the command line?
What is your Oracle Database version?

[daffodils12]

Oracle db version is 19c.

I am running it from cmd line. Its not able to parse the HTML content inside the dbconfig.js file.

Given below is the full details. I have marked the errored line in BOLD.

C:\nodejs>node example.js
C:\nodejs\dbconfig.js:1

Are you using html content anywhere within the dbconfig.js file?
HTML content is not interpreted by Node.js. As it points out, this is a Node.js error.
