node.js - Do all npm packages need an export? -
i new nodejs packages , understood share code had module.export (in addition adding package.json)
for example bootstrap-select not have export function available on npm.
so question modules require export , can require('bootstrap-select') in code?
no, npm modules not require export. npm
being used more not javascript packages intended use under node.js front end code browsers, css libraries, etc. @ least, npm package deliver payload of files not including javascript, such images, css, html, etc.
so can require('some-module')
if package has either index.js
file or has set main
property in it's package.json
file properly.
however if you authoring javascript module node.js, yes you'll need export in order module load properly.
