I have the following code:

module.exports  = { 
    key: "value",
    key2: 1234
}

If I change it to:

export default {
    key: "value",
    key2: 1234
}

Then the following import stops working:

import {key, key2} from 'module.js';

What is an ES6 equivalent of exporting an object?

• javascript
• ecmascript-6
• es6-modules

• You're exporting the object just fine, but are not importing it as an object. Use import obj from 'module.js'; for that. If you want individual imports, you probably are not looking for an object at all - use named exports as in @MichałPerłakowski's answer – Bergi Commented Jun 8, 2017 at 15:59

You can first define the variables and export them:

const key = 'value';
const key2 = 1234;

export { key, key2 };

Or you can export them in the same line in which you define them:

export const key = 'value';
export const key2 = 1234;

If you use export default, then you need not use the bracket. So you import the module like this:

import module from 'module.js';

// access key property
console.log(module.key)

If you want to import your module like import {key, key2} from 'module.js';, refer to @Michał Perłakowski answer.
