In Node.JS, how do I return an entire object from a separate .js file?
- by Matthew Patrick Cashatt
Thanks for looking.
I am new to Node.js and trying to figure out how to request an object from a separate file (rather than just requesting a function) but everything I try--exports,module-exports,etc--is failing.
So, for example, if I have foo.js:
var methods = {
Foobar:{
getFoo: function(){return "foo!!";},
getBar: function(){return "bar!!";}
}
};
And now I want to call a function within an object of foo.js from index.js:
var m = require('./Methods');
function fooMain(){
return m.Foobar.getFoo();
};
How do I do this? I have tried all sorts of combinations of exports and module-exports but they seem to only work if I call a discrete function that is not part of an object.
Thanks!
