Exporting Objects with the Exports Object

Question

Say I have one .js file containing a javascript object. I want to be able to access that object and all of its functionality from another .js file in t

Answer 1

the simplest approach, in my opinion:

write Person.js: (note it comes with ctor)

module.exports = function (firstName, lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
    this.fullName = function () { 
        return this.firstName + ' ' + this.lastName;
    }
}

and consume it:

var person = require('./Person.js');

var person1 = new person('James', 'Bond');

console.log(person1.fullName());

note that in this simple solution all methods are "public".
