in node.js, is there any shortcut to export ALL functions in a given file? i want to do this for unit testing purposes, as my unit tests are in a separate file from my production code.

I know i can go through and export each function manually, as in:

exports.myFunction = myFunction;

But i'm wondering if there is a simpler/slicker way to do this.

(and yes, i realize for modularity reasons it isn't always a good idea to export all functions, but for unit testing purposes you do want to see all the little functions so you can test them piece by piece.)

Thanks!

You could do something like this:

// save this into a variable, so it can be used reliably in other contexts
var self = this;

// the scope of the file is the `exports` object, so `this === self === exports`
self.fnName = function () { ... }

// call it the same way
self.fnName();

Or this:

// You can declare your exported functions here
var file = module.exports = {
  fn1: function () {
    // do stuff...
  },
  fn2: function () {
    // do stuff...
  }
}

// and use them like this in the file as well
file.fn1();

Or this:

// each function is declared like this. Have to watch for typeos, as we're typing fnName twice
fnName = exports.fnName = function () { ... }

// now you can use them as file-scoped functions, rather than as properties of an object
fnName();
