difference between module.exports.run and module.exports in JS?

Question

Title says it all. What is the difference between simple module.exports and module.exports.run in javascript? I really couldn't find some info on the internet. Sorry.

Answer 1

module.exports is kindof like an index of what's exported in your file.

For example, if file.js starts with the line module.exports = function(args) { , when you import file.js using const file = require("./file.js") you can access your function using file(arg1) .

If file.js started with the line module.exports.run = function(args) { however, if the file was imported the same way, you could only access your function using file.run() .
