Module.exports 导出 nodejs 中的变量

Question

i have two javascript files. a1.js and utils.js The files are as follows:

a1.js

const namet = require('./utils.js')
console.log(name);

utils.js

console.log('utils.js');
const name ='Mike';
module.exports = name;

When I run this file I get an error message

ReferenceError: name is not defined

The only way I avoid the error message is if I change the require line in a1.js to say:

const name = require('./utils.js')

What am I doing wrong? I thought that the name of the require const should not matter. I am using node version 10.1.0

Answer 1

Rename name on line 2 to namet

const namet = require('./utils.js')
console.log(namet);
