How can I include a JavaScript file in another JavaScript file in Node js

Question

Does @import in CSS allows you to include a JavaScript file in another JavaScript file?

Answer 1

In Node.js to include a JavaScript file in another JavaScript file, use module.exports as module is a variable that represents the current module and exports is an object that will be exposed as a module.

create a file named message.js and write the following code

module.exports = 'Hello world';

now create a file named app.js and type the below code

var msg = require('./Messages.js');

console.log(msg);

and when you run app.js you will be able to see this 

C:\> node app.js 
Hello World

So this how you inculde one JavaScript in another
