Node.js - export object from module

In this article, we would like to show you how to export object from module in Node.js.

Below we present how to export object from module1.js to index.js file.

Project structure:

xxxxxxxxxx

/my-app/

   ├── index.js

   ├── module1.js

   └── package.json

Steps to follow:

1. In module1.js file export the object using module.exports.

Practical example:

xxxxxxxxxx

module.exports = {

    name: 'Tom',

    age: 23

}

2. In index.js file import the object from module1.js using require().

Practical example:

xxxxxxxxxx

const user = require('./module1');

​

console.log(user.name);

console.log(user.age);

3. Now you can run the project from terminal to see the output using the following command:

xxxxxxxxxx

node index.js

Output:

xxxxxxxxxx

Tom
