A couple of months ago, we discussed some issues with the default export
syntax, and Dave suggested making some minor tweaks so that these forms:
export default function ...
export default class ...
were declarations instead of expressions.
Has there been any movement on this issue recently?
I think this solution is acceptable, but I still maintain that it would be
less confusing for the user if we required an equal sign:
export default = foo;
Consider the following case:
export default { a: a1, b: b1 };
It would be easy for a beginner to misinterpret this as a shorthand for
multiple exports, when in fact this statement is exporting a single thing
which happens to be an object.
If the syntax were instead:
export default = { a: a1, b: b2 };
such confusion is less likely.
Thanks!
Kevin
