Hi Luka,
do you mean in the runtime part of the node (provided by its .js file), or from within it's edit dialog in the editor (from the .html part)?

Hi Nick
from within the .js file, the main reason i want to do that is, i have several similar nodes, that will need to use same functions and would like that function to be centralized in a separate .js file.

Ok, so what have you tried? I assume you are using the standard node.js require() method, giving it the path to the .js module you want to include?

ok... without any more details on what you've tried, what errors you are hitting etc, I'm not sure what else to say.

Hi Nick sorry about last message, was typing from in a hurry phone and couldnt give you more details.
anyway
I am trying to reference to a .js file named "m2md.js" that is in the same directory as the node, and it is giving me error "Error: Cannot find module './m2mdm.js'"
File structure
-- create-doctor/
- create-doctor.html
- create-doctor.js
- m2mdm.js
code:
module.exports = function (RED) {
"use strict"
var m2mdm = require("./m2mdm.js"); // external js hook
function validateInput(node){
if(node.doctorID == ""){
return false;
}
return true;
}
function createDoctor(config){
var prefix = require("../../config.json").user + "_";
RED.nodes.createNode(this, config);
this.doctorID = config.doctorID;
var node = this;
this.on("input", function(msg){
if(validateInput(node)) {
msg.type = "doctor";
msg.operation = "create";
msg.entityData = {
'urn': prefix + node.doctorID,
'attributes': [{
"name": "type",
"value": "DOCTOR"
}]
};
node.send (msg);
}
else
this.error("Please input expected arguments: doctorID");
})
}
RED.nodes.registerType("create-doctor", createDoctor);
}
