ES6 Modules vs CommonJS

Developers should learn ES6 Modules to write modular, maintainable JavaScript applications, as they provide a clean syntax for splitting code into reusable components and managing dependencies explicitly meets developers should learn commonjs when working with node. Here's our take.

ES6 Modules

Nice Pick

Developers should learn ES6 Modules to write modular, maintainable JavaScript applications, as they provide a clean syntax for splitting code into reusable components and managing dependencies explicitly

Pros

  • +They are essential for modern web development with frameworks like React or Vue, and for building scalable Node
  • +Related to: javascript, ecmascript

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

CommonJS

Developers should learn CommonJS when working with Node

Pros

  • +js applications, as it is the default module system in Node
  • +Related to: node-js, javascript

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use ES6 Modules if: You want they are essential for modern web development with frameworks like react or vue, and for building scalable node and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use CommonJS if: You prioritize js applications, as it is the default module system in node over what ES6 Modules offers.

🧊
The Bottom Line
ES6 Modules wins

Developers should learn ES6 Modules to write modular, maintainable JavaScript applications, as they provide a clean syntax for splitting code into reusable components and managing dependencies explicitly
