The use case is simple: I just want to export an object with the name just as it was imported.
for example:
import React from 'react';
export React;
but this does not work. I have to write:
import React from 'react';
export const React = React;
But this is odd. What is the right way to do this?
UPDATED:
Thanks for helps and references. I have solved out my problem with many clues. I'd like to share some common cases for me and the solutions.
export imports
import d, {obj} from '...';
export {obj, d};
export {obj as name1, d as name2};
re-export all named imports
export * from '...';
export * as name1 from '...';
re-export some named imports
export {a, b as name1} from '...';
re-export default import as default export
export {default} from '...';
re-export default import as named export
export {default as name1} from '...';
I often do the following in index.js files that compose several files:
export {default as SomeClass} from './SomeClass';
export {someFunction} from './utils';
export {default as React} from 'react';
This blog entry provides some nice additional examples.
Important note
You should be aware this eslint-rule when accessing these exported imports. Basically, in another file, you shouldn't:
import SomeClassModule from 'SomeClass/index.js';
SomeClassModule.someFunction(); // Oops, error
You should do this:
import SomeClassModule, {someFunction} from 'SomeClass/index.js';
someFunction(); // Ok
You could export imported file with such structure
import First from './First'
import Second from './Second'
/..../
export { First, Second }
You should be able to do export {React}
and import it via import {React} from ./module
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/web/javascript/reference/statements/export for more information.
Given ./foo.js
:
const Foo = class {
talk() { return 'hello'; }
};
export default Foo;
Then you should be able to do this:
import Foo from './foo';
let foo = new Foo();
foo.talk(); // => 'hello';
The syntax more or less follows the commonjs module.exports pattern, where you would do this:
const Foo = class {
};
module.exports = Foo;

For my use case, I explicitly need some sort of explicit import statement so that babel can transpile my es7 code to es5.
The following results in an error You gave us a visitor for the node type "ForAwaitStatement" but it's not a valid type
:
require( 'babel-core/register' ); //transpiles es7 to es5
export {default} from './module_name'
My solution was to explicitly import the module by using require()
:
require( 'babel-core/register' );
export default require( './module_name' ).default;
