export in js is not working

It is a very small issue but I can't find out: I have 2 file in the same folder: config.js and server.js. The last one uses the config.js with the following code:

...
var config = ('./config');
...
//Configuration
var port = process.env.PORT || 8080;
mongoose.connect(config.database);

By running the server I have problem with connection due to a wrong address, infact the following error is shown

MongoError: failed to connect to server [undefined:27017] on first connect ...

The config.js contains just:

module.exports = {
    'secret' : 'test123',
    'database' : 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/test'
};

And If I replace the mongoose.connect with the following code

mongoose.connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/test');

everything works fine... Why it can't resolve the database name?

You must to use var config = require(./config.js) and config.js must be on the same dir if you do that, the problem is you forgot require
