This code creates a global object named master and makes it available for use in other parts of the application.

Run example

npm run import -- "quakejs web master"

quakejs web master

var master = root.master = {};

module.exports = master

/**
 * Master module for storing and exporting application configuration.
 *
 * @module Master
 */

const root = {};

/**
 * Initialize the master module.
 */
const master = (function() {
  // Initialize the master object.
  const instance = {};

  // Create a property to store the instance.
  root.master = instance;

  // Return the instance.
  return instance;
})();

/**
 * Export the master module.
 *
 * @type {Object}
 */
module.exports = root.master;

/**
 * TODO: Consider adding a configuration loader to populate the master object.
 */

This code snippet defines a global variable named master and assigns it an empty object.

Here's a breakdown:

1. Variable Declaration:

   • var master = root.master = {}; declares a variable named master and assigns it an empty object ({}).
   • It also simultaneously assigns this same empty object to a property named master on a variable named root. This suggests that root is likely a global object or a module that holds other configuration or data.

2. Module Export:

   • module.exports = master; exports the master variable as a module. This means that other parts of the application can import and use this master object.

In essence, this code creates a global object named master and makes it accessible to other modules within the application.
