I have a problem. I want that in a function a variable is set and that is exported by another function as i don't want to return that variable at the invocation of function. How can i do this. Code look like this.
var details = {};
module.exports.set = function (var1){
details.n = var1;
}
module.exports.m = details.n;
But details.n is returning undefined. I know it is because of var details = {}. Then how can i resolve my purpose. Thanks in advance.
You should export details instead of details.n
module.exports.m = details;
This allow you to get the reference of details using import. Exporting details.n will get you only the initial value, updates won't get reflected.
This works, tried and tested
module.exports.set = function (var1) {
module.exports.m = var1;
};
Now you can call set with anything and it will be set in 'm'
var test = require('./test');
test.set('test123');
console.log(test.m);
test.set('test1234');
console.log(test.m);
test.set(function() {});
console.log(test.m);
OUTPUT:
test123
test1234
[Function]
