Node.js export properties

Question

What am I doing wrong? Result of module method getFile is always undefined.

Here is code (routing):

let router = { 
paths : {
    'rest' : 'rest.info',
    'data' : 'data-info'
},

getFile : (url) => {
   console.log(this.paths);
}
};

module.exports = {
    router : router
}

Here is code from simple server:

const http = require('http');
const fs = require('fs');
const router = require('./routing');

http.createServer((req, res) => {
router.getFile('rest');
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
fs.createReadStream('./views/myview.html').pipe(res);

}).listen(3000);

Answer 1

Try const router = require('./routing').router

Because the module.exports is an object with router as a property

This can also be accomplished through destructuring using a suitable node version:

const { router } = require('./routing');

Answer 2

I believe you just need to pluralize export like so:

module.exports = {..

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

In order to access this.paths change your getFile method like this:

getFile(url) {
   console.log(this.paths);
}
