Best practice for import/export

See original GitHub issue

The best example here doesn’t work anymore with babel 6 https://github.com/airbnb/javascript/blob/master/README.md#10.

What is the proposed update? Stop using default so you can keep using import the same way?

{ es6 } from './AirbnbStyleGuide';
export default es6;

Or just change your import method?

import AirbnbStyleGuide from './AirbnbStyleGuide';
export default es6;

Or something else?

So, it sounds like using named exports (option 2) is the general consensus (thanks!) and avoiding the wildcard import if possible, although I don’t really get why. Maintaining one file for each exported function seems a little extreme to me.

There are only ever two reasons to use wildcard import:

laziness (you don’t want to have to type out the explicit imports)
reflection/metaprogramming

If the former, toughen up and just type them out.

If the latter, seriously consider not doing that - but if you still insist on it, then that’s what import * is for.
