Firebase functions - multiple js files to organize functions

Question

I have a folder named functions, inside there is index.js. On index.js I have the main function that accept all http :

 exports.contentServer = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {

Since I have many more functions I need to organize my files, and I want to add another file, say payments.js, so that index.js can call functions inside payments.js, or even onCreate callbacks will be fired from payment.js.

If I just create another js file in functions, it won't work.

What has to be done to be able to have a single Cloud Function in another new js file ?

You can use a standard nodejs require to load code in other files.

index.js

const otherFunctions = require('./other.js');

exports.contentServer = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
     otherFunctions.other()
}

other.js

exports.other = function() { ... }

I suggest reading the documentation for more information.

@NandaZ I think you can just pass in parameters such as functions, admin and e.t.c... to the function an use it as needed.
