EXPRESS: Router.use() requires a middleware function but got a Object

Question

I am getting an error when calling my router from my routes directory whenever i try to initialize a route with app.use(). The error i am getting says Router.use() requires a middleware function but got a Object. I've read that this could be due to me not exporting the module correctly. However i am not sure what exactly is wrong with my code below.

Error:

Users/name/Desktop/personal/app/server/src/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:458
      throw new TypeError('Router.use() requires a middleware function but got a ' + gettype(fn))
      ^

My route.js file that contains all my route methods. In app.js: I use import router from './routes/router'; then call this with: router(app);

import express from 'express'
import feed from '../controllers/feed.controller'
import file from '../controllers/file.controller'
import flight from '../controllers/flight.controller'

module.exports = function (app) {

  // Initializing route groups
  const feedRoutes = express.Router(),
    fileRoutes = express.Router(),
    flightRoutes = express.Router(),
    indexRoutes = express.Router();

  //= ========================
  // Feed Routes
  //= ========================//

  app.use('/feeds', feed);

  app.use('/downloads', feed);

  // Find all feeds
  feedRoutes.get('/', feed.list_all_feeds);

  // Find one feed
  feedRoutes.get('/:id', feed.list_one_feed);

  // Find one Audience
  feedRoutes.get('/:id/:audienceId', feed.list_one_feed_audience);

  // Download one Feed
  feedRoutes.get('/:id/download', feed.download_one_feed);

  //= ========================
  // File Routes
  //= ========================//

  app.use('/files', file);

  // Find all files
  fileRoutes.get('/', file.list_all_files);

  // Find one file
  fileRoutes.get('/:id', file.list_one_file);

  //= ========================
  // Flight Routes
  //= ========================//

  app.use('/flights', flight);

  // Find all flights
  flightRoutes.get('/', flight.list_all_flights);

  // Find one flight
  flightRoutes.get('/:id', flight.list_one_flight);

  //= ========================
  // Index Routes
  //= ========================//

  app.use('/', index);

  // Set Main index Route
  indexRoutes.get('/', function(req, res, next) { res.render('index', { title: 'Express', layout: 'layout.hbs' }) });
}

The error gives the details

at module.exports (/Users/name/Desktop/personal/app/server/src/routes/router.js:18:7)

app.use('/feeds', feed);

feed here is an object and not a function
