Full Stack Web Development MASTERY Course - Novice to Expert - Module Wrapper Function in Node.js

The video tutorial covers the concept of the module wrapper function in Node.js, explaining how Node.js automatically wraps code in a module wrapper function, making the data private. It discusses the parameters involved, such as exports and require, and the difference between private and public data. The tutorial also provides a practical example to illustrate these concepts and concludes with a brief overview of the importance of understanding what happens behind the scenes in Node.js.
