How can I export a class from one file to another file in Node?

Question

Imagine I have this class:

class Class {
    constructor(arg1, arg2) { arg1 = arg2};
}

Should I do this?

class Class = exports.Class {
    constructor(arg1, arg2) { arg1 = arg2};
}

Or there's another way?

Answer 1

With export syntax, just put export before the class:

export class Class {

(this results in a named export named Class )

Or, for a default export:

export default class Class {

With module syntax, assign to module.exports , or to a property of module.exports :

module.exports = class Class {

or

module.exports.Class = class Class {

Answer 2

You should do like this (for other ways, check @Snow answer):

class Class {
    constructor(arg1, arg2) { arg1 = arg2};
}

module.exports = Class;
