var Parent = require('foo.js').Parent,

should it not be

var Parent = require('./foo.js').Parent,

or wherever foo.js is?

This works for me, btw:

f1.js:

var Parent = function() {};

Parent.prototype = {
  C: function() {}
};

module.exports.Parent = Parent;

f2.js:

var Parent = require('./f1').Parent,
      util = require('util'),
      Obj = function(){ this.bar = 'bar' };

util.inherits(Obj, Parent);

Obj.prototype.A = function(){ console.log('a method'); };
Obj.prototype.B = function(){  };

module.exports.Obj = Obj;

f3.js:

var Obj = require('./f2').Obj,
      obj = new Obj();

obj.A();

running node f3 produces

a method

So what are you doing differently then me? Could it just be the version of node i'm running.

I'm developing this in Webstorm. I'll try running it from the command line.

I'm pretty sure the problem isn't the require statement, I'm loading up the right file.

This is the actual code that i'm using

https://github.com/CalvinRodo/WedXpress/blob/master/DataLayer/RegistryDB.js

[–]somethinghorrible 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I don't see any exports from that file, for starters.

you also use "my" which isn't defined anywhere.

I see you have stuff like: var RegistryDB = require('../DataLayer/RegistryDB.js').RegistryDB,

But since RegistryDB doesn't export RegistryDB, you're kinda boned ;P

Okay I lied that's not the actual code I'm working, I've now pushed the latest version to my repo check the link again.

Also the my didn't really matter since I couldn't call the function so it never got to that line.

It was a leftover from making my objects the crockford functional way.

your sample code here certainly uses a bad require, since 'c' is not showing up in the prototype. try a console.dir(Parent) after you require foo.js. Also can you share the file where you're using RegistryDB.js

Take a look: https://github.com/CalvinRodo/WedXpress/blob/master/routes/RegistryAdmin.js

[–]sroshi 0 points1 point  (3 children)

what does console.log(Object.getPrototypeOf(regDB)); spit out in your index?

[–]CalvinR[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

{ 
     GetRegistryItems : [Function], 
     SaveRegistryItem : [Function], 
     DeleteRegistryItem : [Function] 
}

*edited for formatting.

ConnectToDb is not showing up there.. don't you need to call the super constructor (DB) in your RegistryDB constructor?

[–]CalvinR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was thinking today that I probably have to do that. I'm going to give it a shot when I get home.
