Module is an empty object even after overriding module.exports

Here is some class in class.js:

function Class(value1, value2) {
  this.value1 = value1;
}

Class.prototype = {
  value1: "default_value",
  method: function(argument) {
    this.value2 = argument + 100;
  }
};

module.exports = exports = Class;

and here is a file in which I want to use this class:

var Class = require('../classes/class.js');
// (...)
var o = new Class(1,22);

What I get is an error:

TypeError: object is not a function

And indeed, Class is {}. I hoped this will help: Node.js object is not a function - module.exports, but I did everything like they said. What's wrong in my case?

module.exports = Class;

Should be all you need.

Note: your code works for me, though, so perhaps you are not requiring the right class.js
