How to emit from server side file so other server side file perform actions?

[AdrianGzzEsc]

I want to be able to emit from a server side file to the app.js file (also server side) so it perform some operations with variables only available in that file but I cant seem to do it.

`

//app.js

const io = require("socket.io")(server, {maxHttpBufferSize: 1e20, pingTimeout: 60000});

exports.io = io;

io.on("connection", socket => {
socket.on('Refresh', function (msg) {
//do stuff}
);}

//vales.js

const io = require('../app').io;

io.sockets.emit('Refresh', data)

`

Hi! This does not seem related to Socket.IO. Please use StackOverflow for JavaScript-related questions.
