Topics

Modules

Part of the Backend Developer Roadmap.

Summary

Organizing a backend codebase into separate files with clear responsibilities (routes, controllers, services, models) using `import`/`export` or `require`.

How to Learn This

  • 1Split a single large server file into routes, controllers and services modules.
  • 2Learn barrel exports (`index.ts` re-exporting a folder's modules) and their trade-offs.
  • 3Keep circular dependencies in mind as your module graph grows.
