node.js sharing javascript file between client and server

Question

I want a JavaScript file to be included in my client as well as server.

Having some issues. Please help me.

Code:

require('app.js');

or

<script src='app.js'></script>

Which one should I use?

You can use Browserify to bundle your node module then import that js file with:

<script src='app.js'></script>

The require() function will now be on the global namespace and you can call the following to make the module available to use:

var app = require('app.js');

Note: in Browserify you'll need to export the module you want to import using require.
