Can node modules require each other

Question

I\'m having the following 3 files.

user.js requires room.js and room.js requires user.js.

user.js

var Room = require(\'./room.js\');

var Use         


        

Answer 1

The difference between:

/* code above */
function a() {};

and

/* code above */
var a = function () {};

Is that in the first example a will be function already in the code above, but not in the second example.

Once you understand that you can come to this simple solution:

// user.js

module.exports = User;

function User() {};
User.prototype.test = function () {
  var Room = require('./room');
  return new Room();
};

// room.js

module.exports = Room;

function Room() {};
Room.prototype.test = function () {
  var User = require('./user');
  return new User();
};

// index.js

var User = require('./user.js');
var Room = require('./room.js');

var user = new User(Room);
var room = new Room(User);
