Hi all,
I am playing around with the atlassian-connect-express framework and successfully created a Jira plugin with the starter code.
Right now, I am refactoring the code in order to implement a route handling I am used to from other projects. In general, I want to change the way how the Express ‘app’ and the ACE ‘addon’ are forwarded to the route handler in index.js. Instead of calling routes(app, addon) I want to use the JS ‘export and require’ syntax.
Here is a code snippet from what I did:
# app.js
const express = require('express');
const ace = require('atlassian-connect-express');
const router = require('./routes/index'); //import routes from '.routes';
...
# Instantiate the express app
const app = express();
const addon = ace(app);
...
# Wire up routes
app.use("/", router); //routes(app, addon);
...
module.exports={ app, addon }
# routes/index.js
const router = require('express').Router();
const { app , addon } = require("../app");
# export default function routes(app, addon)
app.get("/helloWorld", addon.authenticate(), (req, res) => {
...
});
module.exports = router;
When running npm start, Node cannot resolve ‘addon’ in index.js and, thus, displays following error message:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'authenticate' of undefined
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or provide a workaround which will solve my problem?
Best,
Valentin
