How do ES6 modules work in different environments?

Can you explain how ES6 modules work in different environments?

Sure! ES6 modules are designed to work in modern JavaScript environments like browsers and Node.js. They allow you to import and export functions, objects, or primitives between different files.

What about compatibility with older browsers?

Older browsers do not support ES6 modules natively. You can use tools like Babel to transpile your code to ES5, or use a module bundler like Webpack to package your modules.

Are there any specific features of ES6 modules that are not supported in CommonJS?

Yes, ES6 modules support static imports and exports, which means you can import modules at the top level. CommonJS, on the other hand, uses dynamic loading with require, which can lead to different loading behaviors.

How can I check if my code is compatible with ES6 modules?

You can use tools like ESLint with specific plugins to analyze your code for ES6 module compatibility. Additionally, testing in different environments can help identify any issues.
