NodeJS include functions - node.js

Question

Lets say I have the following NodeJS file:
var https = require("https");
var express = require("express");
var app = express();
var options = {};
var serverPort = 8443;
var server = https.createServer(options, app);
var io = require('socket.io')(server);
var numUsers = 0;
app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.sendFile('/home/domain/index.php');
});
io.on('connection', function(socket){
socket.on('user-login', function(data){
++numUsers;
});
socket.on('new message', function (msg,room) {
console.log(msg);
});
socket.on("disconnect", function() {
--numUsers;
});
});
server.listen(serverPort, function(){
console.log("\n--------------------------------");
console.log('Node HTTPs Server');
console.log('Currently Listening on port %d',serverPort);
console.log("--------------------------------");
});
Since I can't get SNI to work on my server, I'll have to go the old fashioned way and write a script for each subdomain. But what I'd like to do is have the functions inside of the io.on('connection', function(socket) {} area to be included. So not included like a class or anything like that, but literally the code is just taken from another file and processed as if it were in that file already. A lot like PHP does includes. Is this possible?

Answer 1

Simplest solution would be to read code using fs.readFile[Sync] and pass it to eval inside io.on('connection', function(socket) {})
io.on('connection', function(socket){
socket.on('user-login', function(data){
++numUsers;
});
socket.on('new message', function (msg,room) {
console.log(msg);
});
socket.on("disconnect", function() {
--numUsers;
});
// eval function loaded outside io.on('connection')
eval(someFunctionBody);
// or
eval(fs.readFileSync('path/to/function/body.js'));
});

Can't you just use require?
functions.js
function myFunc() {
console.log("I am a funky func");
}
module.exports = {
myFunc,
myOtherFunc,
};
index.js
var https = require("https");
var express = require("express");
// snip
var funcs = require('./functions');
io.on('connection', function(socket){
// snip
funcs.myFunc();
});
