Import/export when using reducers in Redux-React Native












1















I'm studying Redux with React Native and I have an example like this:





reducer.js



import {combineReducers} from "redux"; 
import {HomeReducer as home} from "../routes/Home/modules/home";

const makeRootReducer = () => {
return combineReducers({
home
});
};

export default makeRootReducer;




createStore.js



import {createStore, applyMiddleware, compose} from 'redux';
import thunk from "redux-thunk";
import {createLogger} from 'redux-logger';

import makeRouteReducer from './reducer';

const log = createLogger({diff: true, collapsed: true});

export default (initialState = {}) => {
const middleware = [thunk, log];
const enhancers = ;

return store = createStore(
makeRouteReducer(),
initialState,
compose(
applyMiddleware(...middleware),
...enhancers
)
);
}




It works fine but I don't understand why I have to use export default in reducer.js.



When I try to use



// reducer.js
export makeRootReducer


and



// createStore.js
import {makeRouteReducer} from './reducer';


It didn't work.



Please help me by explaining it in detail.



Thank you very much.

          You're talking about named exports and default exports...



          Example of a named export:



          export const someFunction = () => {
          // some code here...
          }


          Now you can import this in another file like this:



          import {someFumnction} from './nameOfFile'


          But if you do:



          export default function someFunction () {
          // some code here...
          }


          That's a default export and you have to import it like this:



          import someFunction from './nameOfFile'


          In your example if you change this:



          const makeRootReducer = () => {
          return combineReducers({
          home
          });
          };

          export default makeRootReducer;


          To this:



          export const makeRootReducer = () => {
          return combineReducers({
          home
          });
          };


          It will become a named export and not a default export and now you can do:



          import {makeRootReducer} from....


          Hope that clarifies... And here is more info
