What does it mean in VSCode if a module is green and if you access an object with it via dot notation and the object is grey and not green?

Question

When I do

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

The mongoose immediately after const is green.

When I do mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId the the whole code, mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId is green.

But when I do mongoose.ObjectId the mongoose is green but the objectId is not. What does this mean?(see above image for photo of the same)

why don't you use the screen dump tool of the OS/Desktop, This is unreadable stuff — rioV8, Jan 25 '22 at 18:46

The current theme you're using (Dark+) highlights classes, modules, namespaces in green. The reason for mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId being green is because all of the text are either a module or a namespace. The reason for mongoose in mongoose.ObjectId being green and ObjectId being not, is becuase mongoose is a module but the ObjectId in this scenario is not.

You can find the difference between mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId and mongoose.ObjectId in this StackOverflow post.
