I find this easier to explain in code:
var a = { b: {} }; // a = modules, a.b = modules.exports
var b = a.b; // b = exports
b.hello = 'world'; // set a key on "exports", works.
b = { goodbye_cruel: 'world' }; // set "exports" to a whole new object,
doesn't
console.log(a); // outputs: { b: { hello: 'world' } }
a.b = { goodbye_cruel: 'world' }; // set "module.exports" to a whole new
object works.
console.log(a); // outputs: { b: { goodbye_cruel: 'world' } }
