Share a Function Across Multiple Cloud Code Files

I want to have a utilities.js file that I require in my Parse Cloud Code that contains various functions that I share across my Cloud Code files.

So in utilities.js I would have:

function sheBear(){
  return "rawr rawr rawr"
}

...and in whatever.js I could have:

require('cloud/helpers/utilities.js')

Parse.Cloud.define("tester", function(request) {
  var she = sheBear()
  response.success(she)
})

...and get the return value of sheBear(). I can't get this to work (I get an error that sheBear() isn't defined). Is function sharing possible like this?

To get the sheBear() function exposed from utilities.js, you'll need to alter it a little so it's exported as a module.

exports.sheBear = function() {
  return "rawr rawr rawr";
}

And then you can include in whatever.js as below:

var utilities = require('cloud/utilities.js');
var she = utilities.sheBear();
