export all properties from object as non default

Question

I've been wanting to do this, but it doesn't seem to be working

const settings = {
  PENDING_ACTION_TIME: 100000
}

export default settings
export {...settings}

This way I can do

import {PENDING_ACTION_TIME} from '../settings'

or

import settings from '../settings'

I know I could export each properties one by one by that seems like stupid code repetition if you have something like 20 properties.

Answer 1

Don't start with an object in the first place. Use named exports instead:

const PENDING_ACTION_TIME = 100000;

This way you can do

import {PENDING_ACTION_TIME} from '../settings';

or a namespace import

import * as settings from '../settings';

You could also use the namespace object in a default export, but you really shouldn't.

Answer 2

Maybe using the CommonJS method of export

// settings.js

module.exports = {
  PENDING_ACTION_TIME: 100000
}

But you'll only be able to use the following syntax

import { PENDING_ACTION_TIME } from '../settings';
