ES6 Modules are useful when we need to make objects, functions, classes or variables available to the outside world it’s as simple as exporting them and then importing them where needed in other files. With ES2015 (ES6) evolution, we get built-in support for modules in JavaScript like with CommonJS, in which each file is its module. If you do not know about import in es6, then check out my Javascript Import Statementguide.
