router.post('/register', async(req, res) => {

        console.log(value);
    } catch (err) {
        console.log(err);
    }

    //  const {error} = schema.validate({name: req.body.name, email: req.body.email, password: req.body.password});
    //  console.log(error);
    const user = new User({
        name: req.body.name,
        email: req.body.email,

Had the same issue using TypeScript / ES6. The solution was to use import * as Joi from 'joi'; instead of import Joi from 'joi'; as Joi doesn't seem to have a default Export
