Answer 1

I have same problem like you,.. Sometimes I'd like to sharing variables between multiple files because I love modular style eg. separating controller, function, models in different folders/files on my node.js script so I can easy manage the code.

I don't know if this is the best solution but I hope will suit your needs.

models/data.js

// exports empty array
module.exports = [];

controllers/somecontroller.js

var myVar = require('../models/data');
myVar.push({name: 'Alex', age: 20});
console.log(myVar);
//  [{ name: 'Alex', age: 20 }]

controllers/anotherController.js

var myVar = require('../models/data');

console.log(myVar);
// This array has value set from somecontroller.js before...
//  [{ name: 'Alex', age: 20 }]

// Put new value to array
myVar.push({name: 'John', age: 17});
console.log(myVar);
// Value will be added to an array
//  [{ name: 'Alex', age: 20 }, { name: 'John', age: 17}]
