TypeScript for Beginners - Introduction - Modules

The video tutorial explains the concept of modules in JavaScript, highlighting the lack of native module support in earlier versions and the workaround using script tags. It introduces libraries like CommonJS for module loading, allowing functions and properties to be exported and imported between files. TypeScript's inbuilt support for module loading is discussed, with a focus on its default use of CommonJS and the ability to configure other systems. The tutorial concludes with an overview of module support in JavaScript ES6 and higher, preparing learners for hands-on practice in upcoming lectures.
