Cannot import a nested export in javascript module

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to import readFileSync and writeFileSync from the rw module, specifically from its dash "submodule". I have tried the following

import {readFileSync, writeFileSync} from 'rw/dash';

which gives me error: Could not resolve "rw/dash". I can access the functions I need with import {dash} from 'rw'; and dash.readFileSync, but I'd rather import the functions directly. I also tried other things like

import {
  dash.readFileSync as readFileSync,
  dash.writeFileSync as writeFileSync
} from 'rw';

but dots don't seem to be allowed like this.

Any pointers are much appreciated. Or if this is against the "spirit" of javascript let me know.

Solution

  • If you don't mind adding a second line, you can do this:

    import {dash} from 'rw';
const {readFileSync, writeFileSync} = dash;

    The reason you can't import it with from 'rw/dash' is due to how that library does it's exports.
