How to call a function of a module dynamically in node js?

Question

I want to do something like this.

var abc = require('./index')
var x = "someModule";
abc.x.someFunction();

So basically I want to do something like this:

abc.someModule.someFunction();

How do I achieve this?

Use bracket notation

Something like

var x = "someModule";
abc[x].someFunction();

This should work:

var abc = require('./index')
var x = "someModule";
abc.[x].someFunction();
