Executing a Function When a Node.js Script is Run Directly from the Command Line
To ensure a function is executed when a script is run directly from the command line in Node.js, you can use the `require.main === module` pattern. Below is a generic example:
```javascript
// Define the function to be executed
function myFunction() {
console.log("Function executed!");
}
// Export the function for use as a module
module.exports = myFunction;
// Check if the script is run directly from the command line
if (require.main === module) {
// Execute the function
myFunction();
}
```
\- `myFunction` is defined and then exported for use in other modules.
\- The condition `if (require.main === module)` checks if the current script is the main module (i.e., it was run directly from the command line).
\- If the condition is true, `myFunction` is executed.
