Node JS - Calling a method from another method in same file

rated 0 times [ 108] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 23458 / 12 Years ago, wed, september 5, 2012, 12:00:00

I have this nodeJS code.

module.exports = {



  foo: function(req, res){

    ...

    this.bar(); // failing

    bar(); // failing

    ...

  },



  bar: function(){

    ...

    ...

  }

}

I need to call the bar() method from inside the foo() method. I tried this.bar() as well as bar(), but both fail saying TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'bar()'.

How can I call one method from the other?

You can do it this way:

module.exports = {



  foo: function(req, res){



    bar();



  },

  bar: bar

}



function bar() {

  ...

}

No closure is needed.
