I've created a node module that is essentially just some useful JS that can also be used client side. I know that require.js can load common.js components, but I don't necessarily want to make a mandate that everyone who uses my module client side also needs require or common.js or something. I also don't want to force them to remove the module.exports = ...
at the bottom of the file. How do others solve this problem? Do you just create 2 versions, or 2 "compiled" versions rather? Does module.exports work everywhere?
By module. exports, we can export functions, objects, and their references from one file and can use them in other files by importing them by require() method.
Module exports are the instructions that tell Node. js which bits of code (functions, objects, strings, etc.) to export from a given file so that other files are allowed to access the exported code.
Every module can have two different types of export, named export and default export.
js modules from JavaScript running in the browser has many advantages because it allows you to use Node. js modules for client-side JavaScript applications without having to use a server with Node. js just to implement functionality that is already available as a Node. js module that is available via an npm package.
This is what underscore.js does:
if (typeof exports !== 'undefined') { if (typeof module !== 'undefined' && module.exports) { exports = module.exports = _; } exports._ = _; } else { root['_'] = _; }
