JavaScript has evolved significantly over the years, and with the introduction of ES6 (ECMAScript 2015), the language has gained powerful new features, including the ability to use modules. Modules provide a way to organize and encapsulate code, making it more modular, reusable, and maintainable.
However, the landscape of JavaScript module systems can be a bit confusing, as developers often encounter the need to work with both ES6 modules and the older CommonJS modules.
In this article, we’ll explore the interoperability between ES6 modules and CommonJS modules, providing you with practical examples and strategies to ensure a seamless integration of these two module systems.
Understanding ES6 Modules
ES6 modules, also known as ECMAScript modules (ESM), are the new standard for organizing and managing JavaScript code.
They provide a clean and intuitive way to import and export functionality, allowing for better code organization and reusability. ES6 modules use the import and export keywords to handle module dependencies.
