What is the significance of live bindings in ES modules?
// module.js
export let counter = 0;
export function increment() {
counter++;
}
// main.js
import { counter, increment } from './module.js';
increment();
console.log(counter);
ES modules use live bindings, meaning imports are references to the exported bindings: 1) Changes to exported values are reflected in all importing modules, 2) This creates a direct connection between the exporting and importing modules, 3) All imports of the same binding share the same value, 4) This enables proper state management across modules, 5) Live bindings are read-only in the importing module but reflect changes made in the exporting module, 6) This behavior is different from CommonJS modules where values are copied, 7) Live bindings are essential for maintaining module consistency and enabling proper module interaction patterns.
