NodeJs require('./file.js') issues

Question

I am having issues including files to execute in my NodeJs project.

I have two files in the same directory:

a.js

var test = \"He         


        

Answer 1

You are misunderstanding what should be happening. The variables defined in your module are not shared. NodeJS scopes them.

You have to return it with module.exports.

a.js

module.exports = "Hello World";

b.js

var test = require('./a.js');
console.log(test);
