ES6 import equivalent of require() without exports

By using require(./filename) I can include and execute the code inside filename without any export defined inside filename itself.

What is the equivalent in ES6 using import ?

Thanks

Solution

  • The equivalent is simply:

    import "./filename";

    Here are some of the possible syntax variations:

    import defaultMember from "module-name";  

import * as name from "module-name";  

import { member } from "module-name";  

import { member as alias } from "module-name";  

import { member1 , member2 } from "module-name";  

import { member1 , member2 as alias2 , [...] } from "module-name";  

import defaultMember, { member [ , [...] ] } from "module-name";  

import defaultMember, * as name from "module-name";  

import "module-name";
