Requiring a folder and using exports.{function}

Question

Currently I have this setup:

// index.js
var example = require('./folder');

and:

// folder/index.js
require('./more');

// folder/test.js
exports.thing = function() {
    console.log('test');

    return true;
}

But when I try in index.js to call example.thing I get:

example.thing is not a function

Is there any way to make it work? Cheers.

Directory requiring is not supported by node. It requires index.js if it presented in the directory.

To export thing in index.js do the following:

// index.js
exports.thing = require('./test.js').thing;
