Using 'require' in node.js to include functions from another file

Question

I use nodeJS, and I put this in the head of the file main.js:

var par = require("C:/Us/ht");

In the ht.js file, I have a function called doJob().

When I then try the following code in main.js:

function cr(LTDa){
     par.doJob();
}

I get the following error:

Object #<Object> has no method 'doJob'

Where is my mistake?

Answer 1

You need to add the function as an attribute of the exports object, as documented here

In other words, your ht.js file should have the following code inside it:

exports.doJob = function() {
     //your code here
};
