python的common模块,如何让CommonJS模块执行main（）（如在Python中）？

I wonder if a method exists that would run a predefined function in a CommonJS module (as those used in Node.js). I wrote a couple of node modules that act as services/servers. I can run them from inside a "controller script" executing their respective main() method, but I'd like also to call them by itself, like we are used to do in python.

I think the way is to try to understand if the module has been REQUIREd or not.

Do you know how?

This is the equivalent in Python

if __name__ == "__main__":

print "Running standalone"

解决方案if (require.main === module) {

console.log("running standalone");

}
