The Concept of Require

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?
    • It's the fundamental Node building block, which is related to a single file. Anything within the module is private.
  • The code examples from the second blog post look very different from the first. Why?
    • It uses RequireJS which is a JavaScript file and module loader to use Javascript from different files together instead of using modele.exports.
