I get the error: "login is not defined" on my node.js app, when I try to get the function login in my server.js from a module module1.js which needs data:
//module1.js
module.exports = (data) => {
var login = function(data){
console.log(data)
}
exports.login = login;
};
//server.js
var test = require(__dirname + '/app/modules/module1.js')(data);
test.login();
When node starts executing module code, both module.exports and exports point to the same object. When you re-assign module.exports, you're specifying another object that will be returned from a module. In you case it's a function (data)=>{...}. The exports variable keeps pointing to the old module object.
You need the following:
module.exports = (data) => {
var login = function(){
console.log(data)
}
return {login: login};
};
Or this way shorter:
module.exports = (data) => {
return {login: function(){
console.log(data)
}};
};
Or, if you want to export both functions, you need to add them to exports object.
