Welcome to the JavaScript Modules documentation! 🌟 Here you'll find essential guides on working with modules in JavaScript.
📚 What Are JavaScript Modules?
JavaScript modules are files that contain code which can be reused across different parts of an application. They help organize code and improve maintainability. ⚙️
- Module Definition: Use
export
to share functions, classes, or variables. - Module Usage: Import components with
import
statements. - ES6 Modules: Modern standard for modular code (
.mjs
files). - CommonJS: Older standard used in Node.js (
.js
files).
🧩 Example: Creating a Module
// mathUtils.js
export function add(a, b) {
return a + b;
}
export function multiply(a, b) {
return a * b;
}
🛠️ Best Practices
- Keep modules focused on a single responsibility. 📌
- Use descriptive names for modules and exports. 📝
- Avoid global variables by encapsulating code. ⚠️
