Importing/exporting modules
Let's say you're coding a module file and now you're ready to import it into your main file. How will you export it using the official module system? Here's how:
// module.js
const takeSquareAndAdd2 = num => {
return num*num + 2;
}
export { takeSquareAndAdd2 }; // #1
export const someVariable = 100; // #2
export function yourName(name) {
return `Your name ${name} is a nice name`
}; // #3
export default "Holy moly this is interesting!" // #4#1: We've first coded a function and then, using theexportkeyword, made it available to other modules that import this particular module.#2...
