Node.js Exporting and Consuming Modules Building your own modules
Example
You can also reference an object to publicly export and continuously append methods to that object:
const auth = module.exports = {}
const config = require('../config')
const request = require('request')
auth.email = function (data, callback) {
// Authenticate with an email address
}
auth.facebook = function (data, callback) {
// Authenticate with a Facebook account
}
auth.twitter = function (data, callback) {
// Authenticate with a Twitter account
}
auth.slack = function (data, callback) {
// Authenticate with a Slack account
}
auth.stack_overflow = function (data, callback) {
// Authenticate with a Stack Overflow account
}
To use any of these, just require the module as you normally would:
const auth = require('./auth')
module.exports = function (req, res, next) {
auth.facebook(req.body, function (err, user) {
if (err) return next(err)
req.user = user
next()
})
}
