# 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](https://webpack.js.org/guides/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`:

```console
npm install exports-loader --save-dev
```

or

```console
yarn add -D exports-loader
```

or

```console
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](#syntax).

> **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:

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

myFunction("Hello world");
```

```js
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");
```

```js
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");
```

```js
// 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");
```

```js
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");
```

```js
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**

```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`](#type)**    |                `{String}`                 |  `module`   | Format of generated exports |
| **[`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**

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

Generate output:

```js
// ...
// Code
// ...

module.exports = { Foo };
```

#### `module`

**webpack.config.js**

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

Generate output:

```js
// ...
// 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**

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

Generate output:

```js
// ...
// Code
// ...

export default Foo;
```

###### ES Module Named Exports

**webpack.config.js**

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

Generate output:

```js

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

Generate output:

```js
// ...
// Code
// ...

module.exports = Foo;
```

###### CommonJS Multiple Exports

**webpack.config.js**

```js
module.exports = {
  module: {

      {
        test: require.resolve("./path/to/vendor.js"),
        loader: "exports-loader",
        options: {
          type: "commonjs",
          exports: "multiple Foo FooA",
        },
      },
    ],
  },
};
```

Generate output:

```js
// ...
// Code
// ...

module.exports = { FooA: Foo };
```

#### `Object`

Allows to use an object to describe an export.

Properties:

- `syntax` - can be `default` or `named` for the `module` type (`ES modules` module format), and `single` or `multiple` for the `commonjs` type (`CommonJS` module format) (**may be omitted**)
- `name` - name of an exported value (**required**)
- `alias` - alias of an exported value (**may be omitted**)

##### Examples

###### ES Module Default Export

Allow to specify multiple exports. Each item can be a [`string`](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/exports-loader#string) or an [`object`](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/exports-loader#object).

> **Warning**
>
> Not possible to use `single` and `multiple` syntaxes together due to CommonJS format limitations.

> **Warning**
>
> Not possible to use multiple `default` values due to ES module format limitations.
