I want to define a variable in one file called vars.js. then I want to access those variable from another file called mybot.js. this is what I ahve in each file:
vars.js:
var token = 'abcfgk6'
mybot.js:
var request = require(./vars.js);
...
bot.login(token);
You need to export your variable in vars.js. See also this StackOverflow thread here for detailed explanations. Your code could look e.g. like this:
// vars.js
exports.token = 'abcfgk6';
// mybot.js
var request = require('./vars.js');
bot.login(token);
You have to export the variable in vars.js
var token = 'abcfgk6'
exports.token = token;
And then access via:
var request = require(./vars.js);
...
bot.login(request.token);
Hope it helps!
Use json in your external files. It makes it allot easier to manage large amounts of data.
vars.js:
module.exports = {
'token': 'abcfgk6'
};
Then access it with:
var request = require(./vars.js);
request.token;
