Module Export Syntax

Wix supports working in JavaScript to develop websites, as well as support for modules. This allows you to export modules from your code files and import them into your other code files.

This article explains the supported syntax for exporting modules.

Supported IDEs

You can export modules in:

• The editor (Wix Studio and Wix Editor).
• The Wix IDE (Wix Studio).
• Your local IDE (Wix Studio and Wix Editor).
