Can I use json file as a module in node.js

Question

I have a JSON module which contains empty containers like this:

npm config set msvs_version 2012

and I wonder if I can push data into this from another module simply by using { "files": { "rootNeeded":[], "folders":[], "files":[], "images":[], "text":[], "unknown":[] }, } method. Something like ...

array.push

and after this can I use this in a third node module like this...

var myModule=require("./myJsonFile");
function(){
    some magic here...
    myModule.files.files.push(files);
}

in the end it will be like dynamic database each time when program called will be refreshed.

You can, however the changes you make will NOT be persisted. Also, if you use cluster, every process will have a different version of your object.

myJsonFile.json

func focusPhoto(recognizer : UITapGestureRecognizer) {
    if photoCaptureDevice.lockForConfiguration(nil) && photoCaptureDevice.focusPointOfInterestSupported {
        photoCaptureDevice.focusPointOfInterest = previewLayer!.captureDevicePointOfInterestForPoint(tapLocation)

        photoCaptureDevice.unlockForConfiguration()
    }
}

mod1.js

{
  "files": {
    "rootNeeded": [],
    "folders": [],
    "files": [],
    "images": [],
    "text": [],
    "unknown": []
  }
}

mod2.js

var json = require('./myJsonFile');

function pushData() {
  json.files.files.push('test 1');
  json.files.files.push('test 2');
}

pushData();
