Exporting Objects with the Exports Object

Question

Say I have one .js file containing a javascript object. I want to be able to access that object and all of its functionality from another .js file in t

Of course you can. In my example I use obj to hold my config info. I put it in a file called index.js in config folder. This makes the index the preferred choice to be picked when I import 'config'. I have 2 exports here one for my node and api stuff and the other for my db. You can ignore the first bit where I set the environment.

const environment = {
  development: {
    isProduction: false
  },
  production: {
    isProduction: true
  }
}[ process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development' ];

export default Object.assign({
  host: 'localhost',
  port: '3000',
  remoteApi: {
    token: {
      'X-Token': '222222222222222222'
    },
    base: 'https://www.somedomain.com/api'
  }
}, environment);

export const db = {
  dbHost: 'localhost',
  dbPort: 176178
};

Calling import config from '../config'; will pick the default one. And if I specify I can get the db export import { db } from '../config';
