module-exports

CommonJS uses module.exports syntax to load various data. One of them are localization files. File format looks very similar to the standard JSON file, but it starts with module.exports = and it's saved as JavaScript with .js extension.

File format example

module.exports = {
  "HELLO_WORLD": "Hello world!",
  "TRANSLATION_KEY": "This is my translated text!"
}
