Hello Everyone, I hope you're doing well
So After that being said, let's start our blog, so in this blog you'll learn how to use the ES6 features on your client or server project
Frontend aka Client
You've an index.html file and some css and js files, and for most cases you want to separate your Javascript code into multiple files and just import the necessary code into your main file let's say script.js.
The old way is to link those files in your html file and your main js file linked the last,
for exp you have these js files
script.js
keys.js
utils.js
anotherFile.js
and let's say your script.js is the main one, the anotherFile.js is depending on the utils.js and the utils.js is depending on keys.js (depending word here means, that file is importing some data or needing some data from the other file)
this is what it would look like on your html file (index.html) to make your code work
You probably said what is the problem , right?
so in our case here we have a few js files, imagine that you've a big project to work on and let's say 20 js files in your project
I feel you LOL,
so we need to find a Solution, Fortunately there is a solution
Using the ES6 imports & exports (You could use the old ES5 require, but here we'll use a more modern one)
Just we need one script file to include in our html file and in that javascript file we'll include all other features or codes from other files.
1st thing to do is making our file a module so we can use the ES6 features, and that it can be done with the type attribute in script tag
<script type="module" src="script.js"> </script>
and in your files you could export and import other function or anything like so
And that's it for the frontend
Backend aka Server
for the server is by the package.json file (created with the npm init), in that file add a type key and module as its value like this
Yeap That's very much it, you're all set up to use new ES6 feature and speed your development process
