When this code (generated from babel) runs I get an error exports is undefined
Object.defineProperty(exports, '__esModule', {
any ideas?

You are most likely not executing the code in an environment that supports CommonJS modules. You could use a bundler, such as Browserify or webpack to bundle your modules into something that can be run in different environments.
Or you could choose a different module transformer.
With webpack
Run npm install -g webpack; npm install -D babel-loader
. Then with this webpack configuration:
// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
entry: "./path/to/entry/module.js",
output: {
path: __dirname,
filename: "bundle.js"
},
module: {
loaders: [
{ test: /\.js$/, exclude: /node_modules/, loader: "babel-loader"}
]
}
};
running the webpack
command will convert all *.js
files reachable via the entry file with babel and bundle them together into bundle.js
.
I read an article about how ES6 import and export are only supposed to work in browser with "statically analyzable files" and Babel removed import and export support in the browser because of this. Something to do with async or possibly security?
If you want to skip the server-side bundling for dev purposes, you can put
window.MyModule = MyModule
at the bottom, then import
var MyModule = window.MyModule
at the top of your next file
