Destructuring or Something Different?

Question

This looks like destructuring:

const {getElementById, seedElements} = require(\'./utils\')

but I\'m confused about it. I\'m used to seeing something

Answer 1

Yes, that is object destructuring.

The require() function in Node.js can be used to import modules, JSON, and local files. For instance (from the docs):

// Importing a local module:
const myLocalModule = require('./path/myLocalModule');

Calling require(moduleId) returns the object module.exports of moduleId ( module.exports contains precisely all properties that are made available by the module).
