// lib/sayhello.js
function say() {
console.log("hello");
}
exports.say = say;
exports.VERSIONINFO = "SayHello Library (sayhello.js) version 0.1";
exports.AUTHOR = "[email protected]"; // e.g. YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
exports.global = global;
exports.require = global.require;
// sayhello.js
var SayHello = require("lib/sayhello");
function main() {
console.log("calling say()");
SayHello.say();
console.log("ended say()");
}
exports.main = main;
C:\Users\knh94\Documents\GitHub\welsonjs> cscript app.js sayhello
calling say()
hello
ended say()
The WelsonJS framework suggests the following application release methods:
- Compress to Zip, and use the launcher: Compress the files and directories necessary for running the project into a Zip file, and distribute it along with the WelsonJS.Launcher.
- Build a setup file: Use Inno Setup. Information needed to create the setup file (the
setup.iss
file) is already included. - Copy all directories and files: This is the simplest and most straightforward method.
