exporting multiple modules in react.js

Question

New to react.js and trying to following tutorial. Unfortunately the code given in the page didn\'t work. webpack complained

ERROR in ./App.jsx
Module build         


        

Answer 1

You can have only one default export which you declare like:

export default App; or export default class App extends React.Component {...

and later do import App from './App'

If you want to export something more you can use named exports which you declare without default keyword like:

export {
  About,
  Contact,
}

or:

export About;
export Contact;

or:

export const About = class About extends React.Component {....
export const Contact = () => (
 ... 
);

and later you import them like:

import App, { About, Contact } from './App';

EDIT:

There is a mistake in the tutorial as it is not possible to make 3 default exports in the same main.js file. Other than that why export anything if it is no used outside the file?. Correct main.js :

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { Router, Route, Link, browserHistory, IndexRoute  } from 'react-router'

class App extends React.Component {
...
}

class Home extends React.Component {
...
}


class About extends React.Component {
...
}


class Contact extends React.Component {
...
}


ReactDOM.render((
   
      
         
         
         
         
      
   

), document.getElementById('app'))

EDIT2:

another thing is that this tutorial is based on react-router-V3 which has different api than v4.
