NPM Module/Library Publishing & Testing Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by [deleted]

Module.ex­ports is a special object that is used as a container to hold all your code to be distri­buted as a node package. Distri­buted as in an actual package that can be published to npm and be downlo­adable from anywhere. You may also choose to have a package be local package.

Whatever code you want to be contained in a distrutbal node package must be assigned to the module.ex­ports object.

Examples:

// filename: module.js;

// packag­e-name: exampl­e-m­odule

module exports = functi­on(­nam­e){­con­sol­e.l­og(`Hi there ${name­}!`)};

// app.js

const func = requir­e('­exa­mpl­e-m­odu­le');

OR

// module.js

module exports = functi­on(­nam­e){­con­sol­e.l­og(`Hi there ${name­}!`)};
