can we have more than one module.exports statements in one js file

Question

I am newbie to javascript.I am developing mobile apps using Titanium studio. My question is regarding javascript which is as follows.

I have one file js file named commonUi.js in this file I am defining common UI components which I can use in different windows.

Now I am defining two object function inside commonUi.js which are as follows.

function component1(){

}

function component2(){

}

Now My core question is can I write following two statements inside my commonUi.js file

1. module.exports = component1;
2. module.exports = component2;

Any help greatly appreciated.

You can only have one module.exports = in your module, but you can do something like this to achieve what you want:

var CommonUi = function() {

    var component1 = function() {

    }

    var component2 = function() {

    }

    return {
        component1: component1
       ,component2: component2
    }
}();

module.exports = CommonUi;

And then you can just use it like this: commonUi.component1();
