Javascript Classes vs. //USEUNIT

I was a little bit surprised when I tried to create an object from a class located in another file within the same project when this file is imported using //USEUNIT and got a reference error     ...

    Thanks Marsha_R

     

    I already read this page and didn't found answers that I wanted.

     

    BUT, I think I found a workaround that will limit the use of "require" in one file only.

     

    So if //USEUNIT only imports global variables and functions, so why not put the "require" statement within it's own file and then use //USEUNIT to import it?

     

    //File A

var AClasses = require("A");

class MyClass
{
   constructor(x)
   {
      this.x = x;
   }
   GetX()
   {
      return this.x
   }
}

module.exports.MyClass = MyClass;


//File B
//USEUNIT A

function test()
{
  var myObj = new AClasses.MyClass(5)
  //Works!
}

     

    IMO, this is a more cleaner way if we want to use the class in multiple units, we just need to use //USEUNIT instead of declaring another variable in each file.

    Hi,

     

    Is there a way we can call functions from one project into another. 

    Project1 - > Unit1 -> Function1 returns something

    Can we use Function1 into Project 2. Both projects are in the same suite
