Exports Loader

npm node tests coverage discussion size

exports-loader

Allow to setup exports module.exports/export for source files.

Useful when a source file does not contain exports or something does not export.

For further hints on compatibility issues, check out Shimming of the official docs.

Warning

By default loader generate ES module named syntax.

Warning

Be careful, existing exports (export/module.exports/exports) in the original code and exporting new values can cause a failure.

Getting Started

To begin, you'll need to install exports-loader:

npm install exports-loader --save-dev

or

yarn add -D exports-loader

or

pnpm add -D exports-loader

Inline

The | or %20 (space) allow to separate the syntax, name and alias of export. The documentation and syntax examples can be read here.

Warning

%20 is space in a query string, because you can't use spaces in URLs

Then add the loader to the desired import statement or require calls. For example:

import { myFunction } from "exports-loader?exports=myFunction!./file.js";
// Adds the following code to the file's source:
//
// ...
// Code
// ...
//
// export { myFunction }

myFunction("Hello world");
import {
  myVariable,
  myFunction,
} from "exports-loader?exports=myVariable,myFunction!./file.js";
// Adds the following code to the file's source:
//
// ...
// Code
// ...
//
// export { myVariable, myFunction };

const newVariable = myVariable + "!!!";

console.log(newVariable);

myFunction("Hello world");
const {
  myFunction,
} = require("exports-loader?type=commonjs&exports=myFunction!./file.js");
// Adds the following code to the file's source:
//
// ...
// Code
// ...
//
// module.exports = { myFunction }

myFunction("Hello world");
// Alternative syntax:
// import myFunction from 'exports-loader?exports=default%20myFunction!./file.js';
import myFunction from "exports-loader?exports=default|myFunction!./file.js";
// `%20` is space in a query string, equivalently `default myFunction`
// Adds the following code to the file's source:
//
// ...
// Code
// ...
//
// exports default myFunction;

myFunction("Hello world");
const myFunction = require("exports-loader?type=commonjs&exports=single|myFunction!./file.js");
// `|` is separator in a query string, equivalently `single|myFunction`
// Adds the following code to the file's source:
//
// ...
// Code
// ...
//
// module.exports = myFunction;

myFunction("Hello world");
import { myFunctionAlias } from "exports-loader?exports=named|myFunction|myFunctionAlias!./file.js";
// `|` is separator in a query string, equivalently `named|myFunction|myFunctionAlias`
// Adds the following code to the file's source:
//
// ...
// Code
// ...
//
// exports { myFunction as myFunctionAlias };

myFunctionAlias("Hello world");

Description of string values can be found in the documentation below.

Using Configuration

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        // You can use `regexp`
        // test: /vendor\.js/$
        test: require.resolve("./path/to/vendor.js"),
        loader: "exports-loader",
        options: {
          exports: "myFunction",
        },
      },
    ],
  },
};

And run webpack via your preferred method.

Options

Name Type Default Description
type {String} module Format of generated exports
exports {String|Object|Array<String|Object>} undefined List of exports

type

Type: String Default: module

Format of generated exports.

Possible values - commonjs (CommonJS module syntax) and module (ES module syntax).

commonjs

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: require.resolve("./path/to/vendor.js"),
        loader: "exports-loader",
        options: {
          type: "commonjs",
          exports: "Foo",
        },
      },
    ],
  },
};

Generate output:

// ...
// Code
// ...

module.exports = { Foo };

module

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: require.resolve("./path/to/vendor.js"),
        loader: "exports-loader",
        options: {
          type: "module",
          exports: "Foo",
        },
      },
    ],
  },
};

Generate output:

// ...
// Code
// ...

export { Foo };

exports

Type: String|Array Default: undefined

List of exports.

String

Allows to use a string to describe an export.

Syntax

The | or %20 (space) allow to separate the syntax, name and alias of export.

String syntax - [[syntax] [name] [alias]] or [[syntax]|[name]|[alias]], where:

  • [syntax] (may be omitted) -

    • if type is module- can be default and named,
    • if type is commonjs- can be single and multiple

  • [name] - name of an exported value (required)

  • [alias] - alias of an exported value (may be omitted)

Examples:

  • [Foo] - generates export { Foo };.
  • [default Foo] - generates export default Foo;.
  • [named Foo] - generates export { Foo };.
  • [named Foo FooA] - generates export { Foo as FooA };.
  • [single Foo] - generates module.exports = Foo;.
  • [multiple Foo] - generates module.exports = { Foo };.
  • [multiple Foo FooA] - generates module.exports = { 'FooA': Foo };.
  • [named [name] [name]Alias] - generates ES module named exports and exports a value equal to the filename under other name., for single.js it will be single and singleAlias, generates export { single as singleAlias };.

Warning

You need to set type: "commonjs" to use single or multiple syntaxes.

Warning

Aliases can't be used together with default or single syntaxes.

Examples
ES Module Default Export

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: require.resolve("./path/to/vendor.js"),

      },
    ],
