Import a Javascript file into a REPL session

Question

I'm on Windows 10 TP build 9926, using nodejs. I want to be able to import a Javascript into a current session of nodejs that is running on Windows command prompt so that functions from the imported script can be called from within the REPL. How can I achieve that? My attempt of "import" and "require" did not succeed.

I tried the following in a nodejs session running from the directory that has the "learn.js" javascript;

var n = require("learn.js")

Then got the following error message:

Error: Cannot find module 'learn.js'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:336:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:278:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:365:17)

Answer 1

The learn.js file needs to look like the following:

"use strict";

module.exports.myfunc1 = function() {
    console.log("Hi there.");
}

module.exports.myfunc2 = function() {
    console.log("Goodbye.");
}

Also, you must require it like this:

var n = require('./learn.js');

or

var n = require('./learn');

You must make the path relative to where you are running the REPL. Node won't automatically check the local directory.
