Default exports are stored in the default property of the module. If you want to make your library accessible without users having to know that, you can change your webpack entry file to

module.exports = require('./libraryfile').default;

Also, make sure you have library: 'YourLibraryName' in your webpack config as per webpack.github.io/docs/configuration.html#output-library.
