module.exports II

module.exports II

We can also wrap any collection of data and functions in an object, and export the object using module.exports. In menu.js, we could write:

 

module.exports = {
  specialty: "Roasted Beet Burger with Mint Sauce",
  getSpecialty: function() {
    return this.specialty;
  } 
}; 

 

In the above code, notice:

1. module.exports exposes the current module as an object.
2. specialty and getSpecialty are properties on the object.

Then in order.js, we write:

 

const Menu = require('./menu.js');

console.log(Menu.getSpecialty());

 

Here we can still access the behavior in the Menu module.

  myAirplane : "CloudJet",
  displayAirplane: function() {
    return this.myAirplane;
  }
};

 

file = 2-missionControl.js

 

const Airplane = require('./2-airplane.js');

console.log(Airplane.displayAirplane());
