In Node.js, how do I “include” functions from my other files?

Question

Let\'s say I have a file called app.js. Pretty simple:

var express = require(\'express\');
var app = express.createServer();
app.set(\'views\', __dirname + \         


        

Answer 1

It worked with me like the following....

Lib1.js

//Any other private code here 

// Code you want to export
exports.function1 = function(params) {.......};
exports.function2 = function(params) {.......};

// Again any private code

now in the Main.js file you need to include Lib1.js

var mylib = requires('lib1.js');
mylib.function1(params);
mylib.function2(params);

Please remember to put the Lib1.js in node_modules folder.
