Exporting function or variables export const PI = 3.14 export function add ( a , b ){ return a + b } You can export multiple things from a module Importing Modules To use export Modules,you import it // app.js import { add , PI } from ' ./math.js ' ; console . log ( add ( 2 , 3 )); // 5 console . log ( PI ); // 3.14 You must use exact name when importing modules.
