I have two file alarm.js and notifications.js. In alarm.js I need to call a method called sendPush from notifications.js.
What I've tried :
Exporting the function from notifications.js:
module.exports.sendPush = function(params){
console.log("sendPush from notifcations.js called");
console.log(params);
}
Importing it in alarm.js and use it :
let helperNotif = require('./notifications')
router.post("/", async (req, res) => {
const params = {
param1: 'a',
param2: 'b'
}
helperNotif.sendPush(params)
});
The problem:
I keep getting the error saying helperNotif.sendPush is not a function
The question :
How can I call this notification.js sendPush function from my alarm.js file ?
[EDIT] maybe I should add that in notifications.js I have some router.get and router.post and at the end module.exports = router;
If your notifications.js ends with module.exports = router, that will overwrite your module.exports.sendPush = .... If you want to export both the router and the sendPush, you can write
function sendPush(params){
console.log("sendPush from notifcations.js called");
console.log(params);
}
...
module.exports = {router, sendPush};
To import the router elsewhere, you must then write
const {router} = require("./notifications.js");
