Why do you need modules
Below are the list of benefits using modules in javascript ecosystem
- Maintainability
- Reusability
- Namespacing
Practical Code Example
javascript
// Without modules: Global namespace collisions
// file1.js: var user = 'Alice';
// file2.js: var user = 'Bob'; (overwrites file1!)
// With ES Modules: Encapsulated private scope
// userService.js
const privateSecret = 'secret_key_123'; // Not visible outside
export function getUser(id) {
return { id, auth: privateSecret };
}
