require function returns exports of the require module.
module.exports is the returned object.
1)use module.exports to export single varibale e.g one class or one function
e.g module.exports= Calculator.
2)use exports to export multiple named variables
export.add = (a,b)=> a+b;
export.multiple=(a,b)=> a*b;

var mymodule = require('mycoolmodule')

});
/*will show 123 in the terminal*/
module.exports = router;
// First Export from other file
export default exampleFunction;
// for multiple exports use:
module.exports = { exampleFunction1, exampleFunction2 };
// Then we import in the file where we want to use our functions
import exampleFunction from "./otherFile.js";
// for multiple imports, we desctructure
import { exampleFunction1, exampleFunction2 } from "./otherFile.js"
// Check MDN for more info on JS exports.
// NOTE: if running on node, add "type": "module" to your package.json file
