Node.js global variables

Question

I asked here: Does Node.js require inheritance?

And I was told that I can set variables to the global scope by leaving out the variable.

Answer 1

The other solutions that use the GLOBAL keyword are a nightmare to maintain/readability (+namespace pollution and bugs) when the project gets bigger. I've seen this mistake many times and had the hassle of fixing it.

Use a JavaScript file and then use module exports.

Example:

File globals.js

var Globals = {
    'domain':'www.MrGlobal.com';
}

module.exports = Globals;

Then if you want to use these, use require.

var globals = require('globals'); // << globals.js path
globals.domain // << Domain.
