Let's say I have the following app.js (obviously very simplified):
var express = require('express'),
app = express.createServer();
// include routes
require('./lib/routes')(app);
// some random function
var foo = function() {
return 'bar';
};
// another random function
var foo2 = function() {
return 'bar2';
};
And then I have the routes module:
module.exports = function(app){
app.get('/some/route', function(req, res){
var fooBar = foo(),
fooBar2 = foo2();
res.end(fooBar + fooBar2);
});
};
This obviously doesn't work since foo and foo2 weren't defined within the module. Is there a way to make this work, or at least a different pattern to better accomplish what this?
Well you can just put these two functions in an object and pass them on the initialization of the routes.js .
var express = require('express'),
app = express.createServer();
// some random function
var foo = function() {
return 'bar';
};
// another random function
var foo2 = function() {
return 'bar2';
};
var fns = {foo : foo, foo2: foo2}
// include routes
require('./lib/routes')(app, fns);
in routes:
module.exports = function(app, fns){
app.get('/some/route', function(req, res){
var fooBar = fns.foo(),
fooBar2 = fns.foo2();
res.end(fooBar + fooBar2);
});
};
This is how would I do it. You can also include them in the app object. Beside passing them in init functions, you can also export those two functions and require them in routes.js.
var express = require('express'),
app = express.createServer();
// some random function
var foo = function() {
return 'bar';
};
// another random function
var foo2 = function() {
return 'bar2';
};
module.exports = {foo : foo, foo2: foo2}
// include routes
require('./lib/routes')(app, fns);
in routes:
module.exports = function(app){
var fns = require('../app.js');
app.get('/some/route', function(req, res){
var fooBar = fns.foo(),
fooBar2 = fns.foo2();
res.end(fooBar + fooBar2);
});
};
But I don't like the idea of it, since it makes circular dependencies. Don't have any good feelings about them.
