actually i have used functions like as follow
function selectBloodGroupNames()
{
return array("A+", "O+", "B+", "AB+", "A-", "O-", "B-", "AB-", "A1+Ve",
"Unknown");
}
the above function return list of blood group which can be formatted as per our idea like to display in a drop down or else in a table!!!
i have saved that function in a separate file called functions.php
how to use the same like in node.js in express module and in ejs or basic html template engine.
Full Example with access array in ejs file
data.js
const sampleArray = {
function1(){
return ["A+", "O+", "B+", "AB+", "A-", "O-", "B-", "AB-", "A1+Ve",
"Unknown"];
},
function2() {
return ["A+", "O+", "B+", "AB+", "A-", "O-", "B-", "AB-", "A1+Ve",
"Unknown"];
}
}
module.exports = sampleArray;
main.js //render ejs file.
const sampleArray = require('./data');
app.get('/renderEjs', function(req, res) {
res.set('Content-Type', 'application/javascript');
res.render('ejsHtmlFileName', { myArray :sampleArray.function1(),myArrayTwo:sampleArray.function2()});
});
ejsFile
<div><p><%= myArray %><%= myArrayTwo %></p></div>
Reference Link for render data in ejs file - LINK
for using in node.js you can create a separate file common.js
module.exports=function selectBloodGroupNames()
{
return ["A+", "O+", "B+", "AB+", "A-", "O-", "B-", "AB-", "A1+Ve",
"Unknown"];
}
then in the file you want to use it you can include it and use it like below:-
const Common=require('pathto/common.js');
let bloodGroupList= Common.selectBloodGroupNames();
//now you can use it where ever you want
console.log(bloodGroupList);
function successMessage($message) { echo ' <div class="alert pastel alert-success" align="center"> <p>'.$message.'</p> </div> '; }you should install babel to able of use ES6 for javascript
npm install --save-dev babel-core
then you create separate file config.js. In config.js :
export default Config {
selectBloodGroupNames() {
return ["A+", "O+", "B+", "AB+", "A-", "O-", "B-", "AB-", "A1+Ve",
"Unknown"];
}
}
then in file you want to use function
import Config from ./pathto/config.js;
function functionName () {
var arr = Config.selectBloodGroupNames();
}
At last i found an solution myself with the answer referencing from @IftekharDani and done some changes myself
functions.js the file which contains multiple functions!!!
module.exports = {
menuTop: function(){
var data = '<li>'+
'<a href="/login">Log in</a>'+
'</li>'+
'<li>'+
'<a href="/register">Register</a>'+
'</li>';
return data;
},
workCheck: function(user){
if(user === "OLD")
{
var data1 = '<h1>OLD user</h1>';
}
else
{
var data1 = '<h1>Unknown or new user</h1>';
}
return data1;
}
};
app.js main rendering file where i pass the entire file with the variable to the ejs file
var func = require('./functions');
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.render('home', { funs : func});
});
home.ejs file that contains the function's content.
function 1
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<%- funs.menuTop(); %>
</ul>
function 2
<div class="row">
<%- funs.workCheck("NEW"); %>
/* Here i pass parameter to the function that i call from the external file to which make more dynamic. */
</div>
and finally i get the expected result! i will give 50% credits to @IftekharDani for giving me an idea. Thank you!
return ['A+', 'O+', 'B+', 'AB+', ...]
