require vs define? why one vs the other?

Thanks,

`require` is only for debugging or console. For actual script modules, you will use `define`

I guess we use require to work in the console...?

You just answered this :smile:

In order to work with a 2.0 module in the console, we need to import it into the console context first. We do that using the `require`

I generally do something like
```require(["N/search"], (module) =&gt; s = module);```

I learned from battk that you can get all modules in a sweep with this:
```require(['N'], (N) =&gt; {Object.assign(window, N)})```
