This is probably a very basic question but I could not find a definitive
answer right away so I am hoping someone on this group would be willing to
provide me with some insight.
Right now I have an application that is split into various .js files. Each
file performs a specific function. For example I invoke 'node
presentation.js' and that makes various database and WebAPI calls to get
information about a 'presentation'. There are about 20 of these types of
JavaScript files and I could write a script to invoke each one of them like
'node xxx.js'. But what I would prefer to do is to have a single 'app.js'
file that would contain something like the following lines:
var foo = require('foo');
foo.presentation();
foo.folder();
. . . .
etc
Then invoke this single file like 'node app.js'. In other words I would
like a library. I have put in presentation.js and similar files an
'exports' like exports.presentation = function () { . . . .}; But my first
hurdle is in the lines above I get an error from 'require('foo')' that
indicates 'Cannot find module 'foo''. I know I can
'require('./presentation.js') and it will find the JavaScript file starting
with the current folder but I would like more of a library. So to put the
question succinctly I would like to know how to structure my folders so the
require would pull in a library of functions each defined by a separate .js
file? Pointers? Ideas?
Thank you.
