Pass parameter to module function Node.js

New to Node.js, and Im wondering if it's possible to pass a parameter to a module function? Something similar to this:

module.js:

module.exports = {
  example1: function(parameter) {
    return "hello, world";
  },

  example2: function(parameter) {
    return "hello,world";
  }
};

Then call it like so...

var mod = require("./module.js")
mod.example1(passedParameter);

Thanks!

A function attached as an exported property as shown in your answer is just a function like any other function. You decide what arguments you want it to accept and process and what arguments to pass it. It's just like any other Javascript function definition - you decide how to define and use it. The fact that it's an exported property from a module does not make any difference. It's just a Javascript function like any other. It happens to live in a particular module, but other than that, you can do anything with it that you can with any other function definition.

Yes, it is possible and is common.
