why the import/export from app.js to routes.js not working-CodePudding

I have a function in my app.js that I would like to use in my routes.js file, but the export is not working properly.

app.js:

module.exports = function extractquestions(){
     extractq();
};

routes.js:

let extractquestions = require('../app.js');

the error I get :

TypeError: extractquestions is not a function

CodePudding user response：

function extractquestions() = { /* your function */}

exports.extractquestions = extractquestions

CodePudding user response：

The other guy is right. But you also do like this:

app.js:

function print(x){
    console.log(x);
}

module.exports = function printSenctence(sentence) {
    print(sentence);
}

and route.js:

const printSenctence = require('./app');
  
printSenctence("Everything is awesome!!");

Hope I help ;)
