Question

How route restify calls to function written in another file

I have a file that launch nodejs/restify server, when calls arrive to my server i do this:

apiserver.post('/:param',call1);

function call1(req, res, next) {
//treatment
}

But i want to place my functions in a script called functions.js, the problem is when i do this

var functions = require('./functions')
apiserver.post('/:param', functions.call1(req,res,next));

it say that req, res and next is undefiened variables.

node.js
mongoose
restify

The problem is that you're calling functions.call1 in your apiserver.post call when what you want to do is pass the function itself as a parameter:

apiserver.post('/:param', functions.call1);
