Issue exporting module NodeJS

Question

I have this directory structure:

app/router.js
app/oauth2-home-client/oauth2-client.js

And the sources:

app/oauth2-home-client/oauth2-client.js

    //SOME CODE

    exports.Bearer = {

            authenticate : passport.authenticate('bearer', { session : false }),

            initialize : passport.initialize()

            // session : passport.session()
    };

app/router.js

var oauth2 = require('./oauth2-home-client/oauth2-client');

console.log(JSON.stringify(oauth2.Bearer));

//SOME CODE

When I print oauth2.Bearer (and oauth2, too) content, I get {}. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

In app/, same directory that oauth2-home-client folder. I have edited my question for clarity. — Héctor Valls

Try this var oauth2 = require('oauth2-home-client/oauth2-client'); instead of var oauth2 = require('./oauth2-home-client/oauth2-client'); — IvanJ

Also try putting quotes around authenticate and initialize in JSON. — IvanJ

You should show what you want to do with oauth2.Bearer currently it is just possible to tell why you get this result, but not how to solve it. Do you want to do oauth2.Bearer.authenticate() which then should call passport.authenticate('bearer', { session : false })? — t.niese

Your code:

exports.Bearer = {
  authenticate : passport.authenticate('bearer', { session : false }),
  initialize : passport.initialize()
  // session : passport.session()
};

Will result in:

exports.Bearer = {
  authenticate :undefined,
  initialize : undefined
};

because both passport.authenticate and passport.initialize return undefined.

And the keys having the value undefined are omitted by JSON.stringify.

[...]If undefined, a function, or a symbol is encountered during conversion it is either omitted (when it is found in an object) or censored to null (when it is found in an array).[...]

-1

Its value may point to the module instantiation. Have you try this?

module.exports = {...};
