I am accessing api.js from Routes.js but I am getting an error that function my_function_in_api is not defined. My code is as follows, please advise where is the problem:
Routes.js
var val = require('file name')
modules.exports = function(app){
app.get('/test_function',function(req,res){
val.my_function_in_api(req,res)})
api.js
module.exports = (function() {
return {
my_function_in_api: function(req,res) {
// do something}})
In addition to Fischer's answer, you are exporting from api.js as a function, so in Routes.js you need to actually call the default function exported from api.js:
val().my_function_in_api // etc
Full code:
var val = require('./api.js') //observe the "./" before the api.js
modules.exports = function(app){
app.get('/test_function',function(req,res){
val().my_function_in_api(req,res)}) // notice the parentheses after val
