How can I pass a variable while using `require` in node.js?

Question

In my app.js I have below 3 lines.

var database = require(\'./database.js\');
var client = database.client
var user = require(\'./user.js\')         


        

Answer 1

I think what you want to do is:

var user = require('./user')(client)

This enables you to have client as a parameter in each function in your module or as module scope variable like this:

module.exports = function(client){

 ...

}
