Is it possible to export Arrow functions in ES6/7?


The export statement below gives a syntax error

export default const hello = () => console.log("say hello")

why ?

I'm only able to export named functions

export function hello() {
  console.log("hello")
}

What is the reason?

    Yes. export doesn't care about the value you want to export.

    The export statement below gives a syntax error ... why?

    You cannot have a default export and give it a name ("default" is already the name of the export).

    Either do

    export default () => console.log("say hello");
    

    or

    const hello = () => console.log("say hello");
    export default hello;
