Node.js Modules
Explore the concept of modules in Node.js to understand how breaking code into smaller, reusable parts improves application structure. Learn to create, export, and load modules using the CommonJS format for efficient and maintainable JavaScript development.
We'll cover the following...
The benefits of modularity
The general idea behind modules is pretty straightforward and similar to the one behind functions. Instead of writing all the code in one place, thus creating a monolithic application, it’s often better to split the functionalities into smaller, loosely coupled parts. Each part should focus on a specific task, making it far easier to understand and reuse. The general application’s behavior results from the interactions between these building blocks.
These smaller parts are sometimes referred to as components in other environments. In Node, they are called modules ...
