No the require bit is importing the code from another file the exports bit is exporting a thing to a file this thing must be an object, it could be an array, an object, a function, etc so if I wanted to export a function to a file, I'd first have to make the function in a file and then export it it then in my main file I'd import it

So CommonJS works like this: You have your main folder (index.js), this is the folder you run. Any code you put here is executed without hassle. Now, if I wanted to call a function in another file, say the function is called sendHelloWorld, simply putting sendHelloWorld(); in the index.js folder won't work. Instead, you must go to your sendHelloWorld.js file and write the following code: module.exports = { sendHelloWorld } What this does is it essientially exports your function saying "hey other files, you can use this function". Now, the way to import this function is to do this: const { sendHelloWorld } = require('./sendHelloWorld.js'); Final code for index.js file:

 const { sendHelloWorld } = require('./sendHelloWorld.js');
sendHelloWorld();

 const { sendHelloWorld } = require('./sendHelloWorld.js');
sendHelloWorld();

Final code for sendHelloWorld.js:

function sendHelloWorld() {
  console.log("Hello, world!");
}

module.exports = { sendHelloWorld }

function sendHelloWorld() {
  console.log("Hello, world!");
}

module.exports = { sendHelloWorld }
