New to react.js and trying to following tutorial. Unfortunately the code given in the page didn't work. webpack complained
ERROR in ./App.jsx
Module build failed: SyntaxError: Only one default export allowed per module.
Wonder how to fix it. Thanks.
=== App.jsx====
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { Router, Route, Link, browserHistory, IndexRoute } from 'react-router'
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<ul>
<li><Link to = "/home">Home</Link></li>
<li><Link to = "/about">About</Link></li>
<li><Link to = "/contact">Contact</Link></li>
</ul>
{this.props.children}
</div>
)
}
}
export default App;
class Home extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Home...</h1>
</div>
)
}
}
export default Home;
class About extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>About...</h1>
</div>
)
}
}
export default About;
class Contact extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Contact...</h1>
</div>
)
}
}
export default Contact;
=== main.js ===
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import App from './App.jsx';
ReactDOM.render(<App/>, document.getElementById('app'));
UPDATE1
I commented out all the export default
and added the following at the end
module.exports = {
App: App,
Home: Home,
About: About,
Contact: Contact
}
Now there is no compile error but the web page is a blank. I am not sure what is wrong here.
You can have only one default export which you declare like:
export default App;
or
export default class App extends React.Component {...
and later do import App from './App'
If you want to export something more you can use named exports which you declare without default
keyword like:
export {
About,
Contact,
}
or:
export About;
export Contact;
or:
export const About = class About extends React.Component {....
export const Contact = () => (<div> ... </div>);
and later you import them like:
import App, { About, Contact } from './App';
EDIT:
There is a mistake in the tutorial as it is not possible to make 3 default exports in the same main.js
file. Other than that why export anything if it is no used outside the file?. Correct main.js
:
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { Router, Route, Link, browserHistory, IndexRoute } from 'react-router'
class App extends React.Component {
...
}
class Home extends React.Component {
...
}
class About extends React.Component {
...
}
class Contact extends React.Component {
...
}
ReactDOM.render((
<Router history = {browserHistory}>
<Route path = "/" component = {App}>
<IndexRoute component = {Home} />
<Route path = "home" component = {Home} />
<Route path = "about" component = {About} />
<Route path = "contact" component = {Contact} />
</Route>
</Router>
), document.getElementById('app'))
EDIT2:
another thing is that this tutorial is based on react-router-V3 which has different api than v4.
