Issue

Trying to deploy my contracts, but gets ReferenceError: artifacts is not defined

Steps to Reproduce

Here is what it looks like :

const Tether = artifacts.require("Tether");
const RWD = artifacts.require("RWD");
const DecentralBank = artifacts.require("DecentralBank");

module.exports = async function (deployer) {
    //Deploy contracts

    await deployer.deploy(Tether);
    await deployer.deploy(RWD);
    await deployer.deploy(DecentralBank);
};

What each contract looks like --

Tether:

pragma solidity ^0.5.0;

contract Tether {
    string public  name = 'Tether';
    string public symbol = 'USDT';
    uint256 public totalSupply = 1000000000000000000000000; //1 million supply tokens
    uint8 public decimals = 18;

    event Transfer(
        address indexed _from,
        address indexed _to,
        uint _value,
    );

    event Approval(
        address indexed _owner,
        address indexed _spender,
        uint _value,
    );

    mapping(address => uint256) public balanceOf;
    mapping(address => mapping(address =>uint256)) public allowance;
    constructor() public {
        balanceOf[msg.sender] = totalSupply;
    }

    function transfer(address _to, uint256 _value) public returns (bool success){
        require(balanceOf[msg.sender] >= _value);
        balanceOf[msg.sender] = balanceOf[msg.sender] - value;
        balanceOf[_to] = balanceOf[_to] + _value;
        emit Transfer(msg.sender, _to, _value);
        return true;
    }

    function approve (address _spender, uint256 _value) public returns (bool success){
        allowance[msg.sender][_spender] = _value;
        emit Approval(msg.sender,_spender, _value);
        return true;
    }

    function transferFrom(address _from, address _to, uint256 _value) public returns (bool success) {
       require(_value <= balanceOf[_from]);
       require(_value <= allowance[_from][msg.sender]);
       
        balanceOf[_to] += _value;
        balanceOf[_from] -= _value;
        allowance[msg.sender][_from] -= _value;
        emit Transfer(_from, _to, _value);
        return true;
    }
}

RWD:

pragma solidity ^0.5.0;

contract RWD {
    string public  name = 'Reward Token';
    string public symbol = 'RWD';
    uint256 public totalSupply = 1000000000000000000000000; //1 million supply tokens
    uint8 public decimals = 18;

    event Transfer(
        address indexed _from,
        address indexed _to,
        uint _value,
    );

    event Approval(
        address indexed _owner,
        address indexed _spender,
        uint _value,
    );

    mapping(address => uint256) public balanceOf;
    mapping(address => mapping(address =>uint256)) public allowance;
    constructor() public {
        balanceOf[msg.sender] = totalSupply;
    }

    function transfer(address _to, uint256 _value) public returns (bool success){
        require(balanceOf[msg.sender] >= _value);
        balanceOf[msg.sender] = balanceOf[msg.sender] - value;
        balanceOf[_to] = balanceOf[_to] + _value;
        emit Transfer(msg.sender, _to, _value);
        return true;
    }

    function approve (address _spender, uint256 _value) public returns (bool success){
        allowance[msg.sender][_spender] = _value;
        emit Approval(msg.sender,_spender, _value);
        return true;
    }

    function transferFrom(address _from, address _to, uint256 _value) public returns (bool success) {
       require(_value <= balanceOf[_from]);
       require(_value <= allowance[_from][msg.sender]);
       
        balanceOf[_to] += _value;
        balanceOf[_from] -= _value;
        allowance[msg.sender][_from] -= _value;
        emit Transfer(_from, _to, _value);
        return true;
    }
}

DecentralBank:

pragma solidity ^0.5.0;

contract DecentralBank {
    string public name = 'Decentral Bank';
    address public owner;
}

This is inital_migrations

const Migrations = artifacts.require('Migrations');

module.exports = function (deployer) {
    deployer.deploy(Migrations);
};
