What is the difference between module.exports and require in Node.js?
In Node.js, module.exports
is used to export functions, objects, or variables from a module, while require
is used to import them into another module.
Can you give me an example of how to use module.exports?
Sure! You can define a function in a file, say math.js
, and export it like this: module.exports.add = function(a, b) { return a + b; };
.
How do I import that function in another file?
You would use const math = require('./math');
and then call the function with math.add(2, 3);
.
Are there any differences in how they work in ES6?
Yes, ES6 uses export
and import
syntax, which is more concise and allows for named exports and default exports.
