Importing/exporting the Express router using ES6 import + export keywords and Babel

Question

I have an old test project originally built with Express 2.X. I am moving it to Express 4.x and trying to insert Babel 6.x to experiment with ES6 features server-side.

Answer 1

Try this:

export default router;

Answer 2

The problem is that you are exporting router as named export router, but trying to import it as indexRoute.

You should either rename your export:

export { router as indexRoute }

or change your import:

import { router as indexRoute } from './routes/index_route';
