The Concept of Require

require.markdown

When you start working with WebPack for GameTime, you'll notice that you can't just define a variable in one file and find it in another as easily as you can in Rails.

Read Node.js, Require and Exports and Organize Your Code with RequireJS

Fork this gist and answer the following questions:

• In the context of Node, what is a module?
  • A module is the "fundamental Node building block". It maps directly to a file. Code within that file/module is only available to other code within that module unless it is exported.
• The code examples from the second blog post look very different from the first. Why?
  • The code in the second blog post uses RequireJS. In this case you use the define() function instead of using require.
