Failed to lookup view "index" in views using handlebars with nodejs

I have an index.handlebars file in my views folder but I still got this error message 

Error: Failed to lookup view "index" in views directory

Below is my app.js file. 

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var exphbs = require('express3-handlebars')

app.engine('handlebars', exphbs({defaultLayout: 'main'}));
app.set('view engine', 'handlebars');

app.get('/',function(req,res){
    res.render('index');
});

app.use('/public', express.static('public'));

var port = Number(process.env.PORT || 3000);
app.listen(port);

Any thought? I felt so strange, it seems everything were right to me.

I have checked out your Github repo regarding this problem.

It seems that you have mistyped the name of the view. It's currently index.handlerbars while it should be index.handlebars.
