I try to understand how to test js files. Look, I have a file emotify.js with function:
function emotify(string) {
return string + '' + ' :)';
}
and then I created another file - index.js with the content below:
var emotify = require('./emotify.js');
console.log(emotify('just testing'));
but console push me an error
TypeError: emotify is not a function
What is wrong ?
When you require a module the result is what the module have exported. In this case you will need to export your function:
emotify.js code:
module.exports = function(string) {
return string + '' + ' :)';
}
emotify.js:
module.exports = function emotify(string) { // Named function, good for call stack at debugging. You are pro, right ?
return string + '' + ' :)';
}
test.js:
const emotify = require('./emotify.js'); // const instead of var, cause you are pro :)
console.log(emotify('just testing'));
mylib.js:
function emotify(string) {
return string + '' + ' :)';
}
function anotherFunc(string) {
return string + '' + ' :)';
}
module.exports = {
emotify,
anotherFunc,
};
test.js:
const mylib = require('./mylib.js');
console.log(mylib.emotify('just testing'));
console.log(mylib.anotherFunc('just testing'));
