javascript - node.js require from parent folder

Question

I have the following structure:

-- node_modules
-- websites
---- common
------- config.js
---- testing
------- test.js

Inside config I have some variables set, which are being exported using module.export.

I am trying to retrieve those variables when running node test.js from config.js using the following codes:

var configData = require('./common/config.js')
var configData = require('../common/config.js')

None of them work. What can I do to retrieve the data from the other folder?

Answer 1

var configData = require('./../common/config.js');

1. ./ is testing/

2. ./../ is websites/

3. ./../common/ is websites/common/

4. ./../common/config.js is websites/common/config.js
