I am new to JS and am currently attempting to make some of my own projects. For one of them, I need to have the same variable in two scripts, I am using NodeJS. For example I want...
var text1
text1 = 'first text'
//in script1.js
to change variable text1 to 'first text' both in script1.js and script2.js and vice versa.
My first thought was to store text1 in a txt document and read/write to it, but I think that this won't be so good. Any suggestions on how to do this without saving in a txt document would be appreciated. How to do it without saving in a txt, I'm looking for any solution that works.
You have to add the keyword export before it
var text1
text1 = 'first text'
export text1
Then on the other file, you have to import it
import { text1 } from './script1.js'
console.log( text1 )
You can export multiple items and make a function to change that variable.
var text1 = 'first text';
const change = (value) => text1 = value;
export { text1 , change }
and then
import { text1 , change } from './script1.js';
console.log( text1 )
change('hello world!')
console.log( text1 )
If you want to export a single variable from a single file you can also make it a default export by adding the default keyword after the export keyword
var text1
text1 = 'first text'
export default text1
Then you don't need to put the curly braces { } in the import statement
import text1 from './script1.js'
console.log( text1 )
Hope you get your answer. 😊😊
