##Important topics
###require(string)
require is a function provided to you in the global namespace under Node.
It is used for loading a module for use in the current script or module.
It takes a string and returns a module.
###module.exports
Initially, your module will have two names for one object: module.exports and
exports. By convention, and for practical reasons, exporting is done one of
two ways:
- Assigning properties to
exports:exports.property = value; - Overwriting
module.exports:module.exports = {}
The reasons why are detailed in the comments in module.js.
