Re-export default in ES 6 modules

Question

In ES6, is it possible to shorten the following code. I have an App.js file and an index.js.

index.js

impo         


        

Answer 1

import App from './App';

export default App;

⬇

Babel 7 (with @babel/preset-react) can transform the below:

export { default as App } from './App.js';

Answer 2

This is a bit of repetition from the previous answers, but to clarify the difference in two options:

1. default export

(This appears to be what OP wants)

export { default } from './App'

// in a different file
import App from './index'

2. named export

export { default as App } from './App'

// in another file
import { App } from './index'

These will work with react as vsync's answer states.

Answer 3

If you use proposal-export-default-from Babel plugin (which is a part of stage-1 preset), you'll be able to re-export default using the following code:

export default from "./App.js"

For more information see the ECMAScript proposal.

Another way (without this plugin) is:

export { default } from "./App.js"
