Lets say, I have one entry.js file entry.js
var t = require('./test'); //it can be file or folder module
If I have a folder and a file named "test"in the same package as that of entry.js, how the execution will happen as both have the same name? which module has the highest priority?
The checking priority will be next:

Frome reqire's docs:
Once Node.js finds the node_modules folder, it will then attempt to load the given module either as a (.js) Javascript file or as a named sub-directory.
And, if it finds the named sub-directory, it will then attempt to load the file in various ways. So, for example, if you make a request to load the module, "test":var utils = require( "test" );... Node.js will perform a hierarchical directory search for "node_modules"
and "test" in the following ways:./node_modules/test.js ./node_modules/test/index.js ./node_modules/test/package.json
So, answer is: File first, Directory second, Module third.
