Is it possible to create function inside `conf.js`?

From nodejs syntax, it supports to do that as following:
// conf.js
exports.config = {
// put config at here as usual
};
exports.login = function(username, password) {
browser.get('');
element.sendKeys('');
};
// spec.js
var login = require('./conf.js').login;
// actually, you can move the login function to another .js file to keep
// conf.js more dedicated on configuration purpose.
describe("A spec (with setup and tear-down)", function() {
it('', function(){
login('username', 'password')
});
});
But that is not a good practice. Because main test framework supports to do something before each test case. For jasmine it supplys beforeEach:
describe("A spec (with setup and tear-down)", function() {
var foo;
beforeEach(function() {
foo = 0;
foo += 1;
});
afterEach(function() {
foo = 0;
});
it("is just a function, so it can contain any code", function() {
expect(foo).toEqual(1);
});
it("can have more than one expectation", function() {
expect(foo).toEqual(1);
expect(true).toEqual(true);
});
});
At last, I can't see the benefit/advantage to do as you required.

If you login inbeforeEach(), you can do logout inafterEach(). Or you can only usebeforeEach()with following process: 1) do logout no matter is login or not, 2) do login
