Create Modules in Node.js

While developing real-world applications using Node.js, we usually need to create our own modules to build a piece of functionality. A module in JavaScript is nothing but a collection of different JavaScript functions and objects that any external application or another module can access. Modules provide a way to reuse code between multiple programs. They also allow us to create more straightforward applications. A module can be beneficial as our program becomes more complex and benefits the team as a whole to collaborate more effectively. Modules help break down code into smaller, reusable pieces that can save time and reduce errors when building more complex applications.

Let’s now check out the steps to create our own modules in Node.js.
