Using 'javascript-color-gradient' in node red function node?

General
1

I installed the gradient module I want to use...

$ npm install javascript-color-gradient

I set the module in settings.js file...

    functionGlobalContext: {
        os:require('os'),
        i2c:require('i2c-bus'),
        gradient:require('javascript-color-gradient')
    },

Restart NR, then I try use same in a function node...

const YELLOW = '#FFFF00',
      BLUE = '#0000FF',
      RED = '#FF0000',
      GREEN = '#008000';
      
var theGradient = global.get('gradient');

theGradient.setMidpoint(100);
theGradient.setGradient(BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, RED);

But I get an error stating that 'setMidpoint' is not function? It definitely is in the module.

Sample flow...

Nuts... I looked at it a few minutes later and realized I was not calling the constructor right, it should be such...

var GRADIENT = global.get('gradient');
var theGradient = new GRADIENT();

The javascript module is a simple class, that has to be initiated.
