Let's say I have a module I want to re-export:

//exportme.js
export default 'EXPORTME';
export const test = () => console.log('test function');

//reexport.js
export * from './exportme.js'

When I import reexport.js, the default from exportme.js is not available.

//app.js
import reexport from './reexport.js'

console.log(reexport) //undefined

I have to make reexport.js to be the following for it to work.

export * from './exportme.js'
export default from './exportme.js'

Is there an easier way to do this or can this be consolidated into one statement?

export default, * from './exportme.js' does not work.

I am using latest babel with transform-export-extensions

The default from exportme.js is not available

Yes, default exports are not re-exported by star exports. The purpose of export * from … is to allow re-exports from multiple modules, exporting the default from multiple modules would only lead to collisions. You therefore have to specifiy it explicitly (if you need it at all, often there is no default export alongside named exports).

Is there an easier way to do this or can this be consolidated into one statement?

No, the two lines you have are the way to go.

As Bergi wrote, there is no way to do this in one line using ES 6 exports. You can, however, simply require the module you want to re-export and assign the result to module.exports:

module.exports = require('./exportme.js')
