Even though, I've imported the JS file that includes the function that I will use, Node.JS says that it is undefined.
require('./game_core.js');
Users/dasdasd/Developer/optionalassignment/games.js:28
thegame.gamecore = new game_core( thegame );
^
ReferenceError: game_core is not defined
Do you have any idea what's wrong? Game_core includes the function:
var game_core = function(game_instance){....};
Add to the end of game_core.js:
module.exports = {
game_core : game_core
}
to games.js:
var game_core = require('./game_core').game_core(game_istance);
Requiring a module in Node doesn't add its contents to the global scope. Every module is wrapped in its own scope, so you have to export public names:
// game_core.js
module.exports = function (game_instance){...};
Then keep a reference in your main script to the exported object:
var game_core = require('./game_core.js');
...
thegame.gamecore = new game_core( thegame );
You can read more about it in the docs: http://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#modules_modules
An alternative approach:
if( 'undefined' != typeof global ) {
module.exports = global.game_core = game_core;
}
