What is this?
ES modules split code into files with import and export. Browsers and bundlers load them as separate units.
Why should you care?
Keeps projects organized — no giant global script tags.
See it live — copy this example
Paste into an HTML file or the browser console (F12). Use Run below when the live editor is available.
// math.js
export function add(a, b) { return a + b; }
// main.js
import { add } from "./math.js";
console.log(add(2, 3));
Run Example »
Edit the code below and click Run to see the result in Toolliyo’s live editor.
What happened?
- export exposes names; import pulls them in.
- Use type="module" on script tags in HTML.
Practice next
- Create math.js export and main.js import.
- Serve with vite or live-server, not file://.
- Try export default vs named export.
- Dynamic import("./heavy.js") when user opens analytics tab.
- Re-export utilities from a barrel index.js file.
Remember
export / import type="module" One default export per file optional
ScriptVerse monorepo packages
Shared @scriptverse/utils module exports formatters imported across dashboard and admin apps.
Outcome: ES modules enforce explicit dependencies and enable tree-shaking in production builds.
