Node.js Exporting and Consuming Modules Folder as a module
Example
Modules can be split across many .js files in the same folder. An example in a my_module folder:
function_one.js
module.exports = function() {
return 1;
}
function_two.js
module.exports = function() {
return 2;
}
index.js
exports.f_one = require('./function_one.js');
exports.f_two = require('./function_two.js');
A module like this one is used by referring to it by the folder name:
var split_module = require('./my_module');
Please note that if you required it by omitting ./ or any indication of a path to a folder from the require function argument, Node will try to load a module from the node_modules folder.
Alternatively you can create in the same folder a package.json file with these contents:
{
"name": "my_module",
"main": "./your_main_entry_point.js"
}
This way you are not required to name the main module file "index".
