Node.js Module System: An Introduction

In Node.js, the module system is key to organizing code and boosting productivity.

It allows you to break your app into manageable chunks using CommonJS or ES Modules (ESM).

Whether you're building large-scale apps or simple APIs, Node’s modularity keeps your code clean and reusable.

πŸ”‘ Key Concepts:

CommonJS: Use require() and module.exports
ESM: Use import and export (a more modern approach)
