You need to make your function a global identifier to be able to call it across multiple files :

index.js

// Some function
somefunction = function(){
  return true;
};

In Meteor, variables are file-scoped by default, if you want to export identifiers to the global namespace to reuse them across your project, you need to use this syntax :

myVar = "myValue";

In JS, functions are literals that can be stored in regular variables, hence the following syntax :

myFunc = function(){...};
