javascript-lodashHow can I use Lodash with JavaScript to require a module?


Lodash is a JavaScript library that provides utility functions for common programming tasks. It can be used with JavaScript to require a module by using the require() function. The require() function takes a module path as an argument and returns the module's exports. For example:

// my-module.js
module.exports = {
  sayHello: function() {
    console.log('Hello!');
  }
};

// main.js
const myModule = require('./my-module');
myModule.sayHello();
// Output: Hello!

In this example, the require() function is used to import the my-module.js module into the main.js file. The myModule variable is assigned the return value of require(), which is the module's exports object. The sayHello() function is then called on the myModule object, which prints the string Hello! to the console.

Code explanation

  1. module.exports = { ... }: This is used to export the sayHello() function from the my-module.js module.
  2. const myModule = require('./my-module'): This is used to import the my-module.js module into the main.js file, and assign the module's exports to the myModule variable.
  3. myModule.sayHello(): This is used to call the sayHello() function on the myModule object.
