13 - Clean Up Your Project with Modules - Advanced Node and Express - freeCodeCamp

We're gonna clean up our project now by splitting it into 3 files. We can use Node's module.exports and require() functionalities to achieve this.

00:00 - How we can Organize our Project 00:36 - Exporting Code - module.exports The module.exports is a special object which is included in every JavaScript file in the Node.js application by default. The module is a variable that represents the current module, and exports is an object that will be exposed as a module. So, whatever you assign to module.exports will be exposed as a module. https://www.tutorialsteacher.com/nodejs/nodejs-module-exports 01:13 - Moving our Authentication Code to auth.js 04:03 - Moving our Routing Code to routes.js 05:16 - Importing Code - require() Node.js follows the CommonJS module system, and the builtin require function is the easiest way to include modules that exist in separate files. The basic functionality of require is that it reads a JavaScript file, executes the file, and then proceeds to return the exports object. https://nodejs.org/en/knowledge/getting-started/what-is-require/ 05:52 - Challenge Solution

-————————————————————————————————————- Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform, JavaScript runtime environment that executes JavaScript code outside a web browser. Node.js lets developers use JavaScript to write command line tools and for server-side scripting—running scripts server-side to produce dynamic web page content before the page is sent to the user's web browser.

Express.js, or simply Express, is a web application framework for Node.js. It is designed for building web applications and APIs. It has been called the de facto standard server framework for Node.js. Express runs between the server created by Node.js and the frontend pages of a web application. Express also handles an application's routing.
