How to access global variables from required() file in Node?

Let's say I have 2 files: main.js, and module.js:

//main.js
const myModule = require('./module');
let A = 'a';
myModule.log();


//module.js
module.exports = {
   log() {
       console.log(A);
   }

}

When calling myModule.log, A is not defined. Is there any way I can make global vars from main.js available in module.js? Thanks.

Solution

  • Use force, use global

    const myModule = require('./module');
let A = 'a';
global.A = A
myModule.log();
