Javascript reference nested object elements from another module-CodePudding

Simple question, but it doesn't seem to be working how I expect... I'm trying to access the value from a nested object, however I'm getting that (for this example) 'person' is not defined.

What am I doing wrong?

Example:

config.settings.js:

var configs = {
    person: {
        'name': 'John',
        'number': 27,
        'color': blue
    },
    place: {
        'town': 'springville',
        'population': 201827
    }
}
module.exports = configs;

main.js:

var configSettings = require('config.settings');
module.exports = {
    run: function(){
        console.log(configSettings[person][name]);
   }
}

CodePudding user response：

You have to use dot accessor such as

configSettings.person.name

And make sure your are properly importing your config.

CodePudding user response：

First make sure blue is defined otherwise is a typo and should be a string

person: {
        'name': 'John',
        'number': 27,
        'color': "blue"
    },

and I sugest use dot notation

configSettings.person.name

CodePudding user response：

Had to make the inner keys strings and reference with configSettings.person['name']

otherwise was getting type error.
