Node JS - Calling a method from another method in same file

Question

I have this nodeJS code.

module.exports = {

  foo: function(req, res){
    ...
    this.bar(); // failing
    bar(); // failing
    ...
  },

  bar: function(){
    ...
    ...
  }
}

I need to call the bar() method from inside the foo() method. I tried this.bar() as well as bar(), but both fail saying TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'bar()'.

How can I call one method from the other?

Answer 1

You can do it this way:

module.exports = {

  foo: function(req, res){

    bar();

  },
  bar: bar
}

function bar() {
  ...
}

No closure is needed.
