Re-exporting from multiple modules in ES5

Question

I have index.js with the following code that works fine on the client, re-exporting functions defined in three other modules:

export * from './validators';
export * from './comparators';
export * from './transforms';

But I want to use these in NodeJS. Our current version, at least, appears not to know this ES6 syntax. I know, in the modules where the functions are defined, how to export them using

module.exports = {
    func1,
    func2
}

But what's the corresponding syntax for use in the re-exporting module?

Answer 1

A simple but effective solution would be

Object.assign(module.exports,
    require('./validators'),
    require('./comparators'),
    require('./transforms'),
);

This is similar to what ES6 does, but does not support updating of exported members. For a closer approximation, you'd need to use getters or a proxy.

Of course there's a good alternative: just write ES6 syntax and use a transpiler that knows how to properly translate it to ES5!
