I am trying to understand how to use modules in node.js to organize my code. Here are my two files 1. server.js 2. index.js
server.js
var http = require("http");
function onRequest(request, response) {
console.log("Request received.");
response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
response.write("Hello World");
response.end();
}
exports.start = function () {
http.createServer(onRequest).listen(8888);
console.log("Server has started.");
}
index.js
var server = require('./server.js').inspect;
server.start();
But when i execute
node index.js
I get this following error.
ashwin@ashwin-vm:~/winshare/node-tut1$ node index.js
/home/ashwin/winshare/node-tut1/index.js:3
server.start();
^

Remove the .inspect
from this line:
var server = require('./server.js').inspect;
