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\')

This question is similar to: Inheriting through Module.exports in node

Specifically answering your question:

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

In user.js:

exports.find = function(id){
  // you can do:
  // module.parent.client.query.....
}
