Node: import object array from another js file?

Question

In a file called data.js, I have a big object array:

var arr = [ {prop1: value, prop2: value},...]

I\'d like to use this array into my Node.js

You can simply wrap your array in a function.

// myArray.js
export default function iDoReturnAnArray() {
  return ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'];
}

// main.js 
import iDoReturnAnArray from './path/to/myArray';

const unwrappedArray = iDoReturnAnArray();

console.log(unwrappedArray); // ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
