How commonjs works in the context of node.js

commonjs.md

Gabe if you module.expoerts = {} you can use that objects methods and properties whereever you require it?

Mike

// foo.js
module.exports = {
 baz: 'hi'
};

// bar.js
var foo = require('./foo.js');
foo.baz === 'hi';

That's the commonjs spec

Gabe and what about module.exports = function() {}

Mike node does a little bit extra exactly commonjs wouldn't let you but node will

// foo.js
module.exports = function () {
 return 'hi';
};

// bar.js
var foo = require('./foo.js');
foo() === 'hi';
