Express.js router require directly or inside a variable?

I have a express.js performance question. I have my server.js where all the routes are defined and the child routes are imported like so:

const ROUTE__FOO = require('./routes/foo')
const ROUTE__BAR = require('./routes/bar')

app.use('/api/foo', ROUTE__FOO)
app.use('/api/bar', ROUTE__BAR)

So my question is: Is it better / faster to first require the routes inside a variable and then assign this variable to the express.js app.use function? Or can I also do this:

app.use('/api/foo', require('./routes/foo'))
app.use('/api/bar', require('./routes/bar'))

Would there be any problems? I tried to find out what's better, but I couldn't get anything out for this specific problem.

It doesn't make any difference. For readability it's probably better to put the requires at the top of the file, but performance wise it is the same.
