call a function from another file in node.js

Question

Inside the below job.js node script how can i call /getJobs .Am using following way but getting $ is not defined.

job.js

var jobScedule = function (time, jobid) {
var params = {
            "id": jobid
        };
          $.get('/getJobs', params, function (data) {
            console.log(data);
        });
}

script.js

.......
......
 switch(context.pathname) {
        case '/getJobs':
          testUtils.runTest(context);
          break; 
}

$.get() looks like a jQuery method. Have you included jQuery? — JJJ

You need request module. It will help you to make http requests:

var request = require('request');
request('http://www.google.com', function (error, response, body) {
  if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
    console.log(body) // Print the google web page.
  }
})

What you are doing is just a simple ajax (GET request). What I'm suggesting is a nodejs module which does the same thing.
