When you start working with WebPack for GameTime, you'll notice that you can't just define a variable in one file and find it in another as easily as you can in Rails.

Read Node.js, Require and Exports and Organize Your Code with RequireJS

Fork this gist and answer the following questions:

• In the context of Node, what is a module?

• A module is a piece of your javascript code that could contain a class, or functions, or variables that are common or related to each other and warrant their own file.

The Dangers of Using Code You Don't Control

---

Checks for Understanding

• In broad strokes, summarize the event

  • A guy had created an open source npm package called kik and and a company called Kik asked him if he could change the name of his package. In my opinion neither party handled the situation very professionally so I'm not surprised this happened. The guy who created kik got so upset that he unpublished all of his packages, one of which included left-pad. Apparently many applications depended on this package, so for about 3 hours they were all down until npm "un-unpublished" the package to fix everything.
