Node.js - ES6 module import to Node.js 'require'

Question

What is the Node.js 'require' equivalent to the following ES6 import?

import RNFetchBlob from 'react-native-fetch-blob'

Thank you

Answer 1

There's no default export in require so you don't have an exact equivalent.

The practice with node modules when you have only one value to export is to make it the module exports:

module.exports = ...

In such a case, you'll be able to import using

var RNFetchBlob = require('react-native-fetch-blob');

Answer 2

Solution

I got it working with:

var RNFetchBlob = require('react-native-fetch-blob').default;
