NodeJS: module.exports property is not a function

Question

I have the following in a module file:

module.exports = {     myfunc: myfunc };  var myfunc = function(callback){             callback(err,reply);     }; 

In an other file I got the reference to that module

var mymodule = require('./modules/mymodule'); mymodule.myfunc(function(err, reply){ ... }); 

When I call the mymodule.myfunc() I get an error saying "property 'myfunc' is not a function". This happens only with exported functions. The same module exports some 'string' fields and these are working just fine.

When you assign module.exports, the myfunc function is still undefined. Try to assign it after declaring it:

var myfunc = function(callback){         callback(err,reply);     };  module.exports = {     myfunc: myfunc };
