How to use variables declared in server.js to router files

[prem Kumar]

Hi,

Need to access variables declared in server.js in router files.

Eg,
In server.js, i have used,
var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport("SMTP",{
service: "Gmail",
auth: {
user: "username",
pass: "userpass"
}
});
var routes = require('./routes');
app.get('/', routes.index);

In router file (i.e) routes/index.js,

smtpTransport.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, response){
if(error){
console.log(error);
}else{
console.log("Message sent: " + response.message);
}
//smtpTransport.close();
});

I am getting ReferenceError: smtpTransport is not defined. Please guide me to resolve this issue.

Thanks.

Better than global variables (yuck) would be using "app.set", though.
