The Concept of Require
Raw
require.markdown

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 containing element for related pieces of code. Often a separate .js file, modules are used to organize and pass along information to other files using the require() syntax.
  • The code examples from the second blog post look very different from the first. Why?
    • The second blog post uses a define method instead of require to specify the modules needed to perform a function using RequireJS. Not entirely clear on when or why to use one over the other.
