Is there a way to share common methods between two different sketches/canvases? It only works if I'm not referencing any P5.js methods.
In the example below there are two sketches and each is loaded into a different canvas element using the instance mode for P5.js.
I'd like to be able to write a function that uses P5.js methods AND is accessible to each sketch.
Basically I'm trying to avoid duplicating code in two sketches if it isn't necessary.
Thanks
// Globals easily shared between sketches
// no P5.js methods here
const canvasW = 521
const canvasH = 322;
// Global function that doesn't work because
// it isn't in a p5 object??
// How to set this up so we can share a method
// across more than one sketch/canvas??
const draw_rect = function() {
rect(100, 100, 10, 10); // no context for the rect() method here
p55.rect(100, 100, 10, 10); // no context for p55 here unlike in the code below.
};
// Sketch 1
const sketch1 = (p55) => {
p55.setup = () => {
p55.createCanvas(canvasW, canvasH);
};
p55.draw = () => {
p55.background(76, 123, 199);
p55.fill(47, 123);
p55.noStroke();
p55.rect(p55.mouseX, p55.mouseY, 47, 47);
draw_rect(); // breaks
};
};
let myp5_sketch1 = new p5(sketch1, "sketch1");
// Sketch 2
const sketch2 = (p55) => {
p55.setup = () => {
p55.createCanvas(canvasW, canvasH);
};
p55.draw = () => {
// including some example drawing code
p55.background(76, 47, 123);
p55.fill(255, 199);
p55.noStroke();
p55.ellipse(p55.mouseX, p55.mouseY, 47, 47);
draw_rect(); // breaks
};
};
let myp5_sketch2 = new p5(sketch2, "sketch2");

The p5 object needs to be an argument of the function:
const draw_rect = function(p55) {
p55.rect(100, 100, 10, 10);
};
const sketch1 = (p55) => {
// [...]
p55.draw = () => {
// [...]
draw_rect(p55);
}
}
const sketch2 = (p55) => {
// [...]
p55.draw = () => {
// [...]
draw_rect(p55);
}
}
