Upload file and use it to export data

Question

I have a file called preload.js, it is the first to be loaded. I need to do a scan and send the result to multiple files when prompted. I tried:

module.exports = {
  online: false,
  client: client,
  async _load() {
    // ...
    this.online = true
    // ...
  }
}

but whenever another file calls him, it seems that he resets and the online reverts false

Is there any way I can make this work? ps. this file has to be: 1st call: file loading 2nd or more calls: use of loaded data
