How to reference an exported function inside of a Node.js module

Question

How can I reference an exported function inside a Node.js module like:

'use strict';

const orm = require('orm');
module.exports = orm.createModel('Accounts');

const Project = require('./Project.js');

// this should be the result of orm.createModel('Accounts')
this.hasMany(Project, 'projects');

However, my linter is complaining about possible strict violation . Is there a way to do this without defining a variable?

Answer 1

When using jshint/jslint, in strict mode, 'this' that not inside a constructor function will cause 'possible strict violation'.

Try the code below, and you will find that only thrid console.log(this) don't cause 'possible strict violation'.

'use strict';

console.log(this);

function test() {
  console.log(this);
}

function Test() {
  console.log(this);
}
