node.js - Node exports "TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'init'" -

i'm having strange issue, possabily noob one, life of me can't node module.exports work me.

here route (routes/about.js)

var = (function () {     function about() {         this.init();     }     about.prototype.init = function () {         console.log('init');     };     about.prototype.me = function (req, res) {         this.init();         res.json([             'jamie here'         ]);     };     return about; })();   module.exports = about; 

and app.js

/**  * module dependencies.  */  var express = require('express')   , routes = require('./routes')   , = require('./routes/about')   , http = require('http')   , path = require('path');  var app = express(); = new about; console.log(about); // environments app.set('port', process.env.port || 3000); app.set('views', __dirname + '/views'); app.set('view engine', 'jade'); app.use(express.favicon()); app.use(express.logger('dev')); app.use(express.bodyparser()); app.use(express.methodoverride()); app.use(app.router); app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));  // development if ('development' == app.get('env')) {   app.use(express.errorhandler()); }  app.get('/', routes.index); app.get('/me/?', about.me); http.createserver(app).listen(app.get('port'), function(){   console.log('express server listening on port ' + app.get('port')); }); 

when about.me called, "typeerror: object # has no method 'init'" error...

any appreciated!

i've worked out! stupid mistake.

i'm passing reference me function, not object itself. no wonder why doesn't exist!
