Hi I m having some issu…
Hi, I’m having some issue getting legacy code work correctly in my NX repository.
• I have Lib-1 and Lib-2.
• Lib-1 requires Lib-2.
• Lib-2 is defined like this:
export const Lib2 = function(){}
• Lib-1 calls it like this:
const lib2 = require('@mystuff/Lib-2');
lib2 is now an object that holds Lib2 :
{ Lib2: function(){} }
Is there a way to make this work? A lot of code is like that and it would be a bummer to have to change all of the calls of lib2 to import.
Responses:
Does it work when you import it like this?
const { lib2 } = require('@mystuff/Lib-2');
Yea - that’s what I did eventually :slightly_smiling_face:
It’s the same as this
const lib2 = require('@mystuff/Lib-2').lib2;
Right :slightly_smiling_face:
I think it’s better to just tell all devs to convert to import wherever they see it anyway :slightly_smiling_face:
Thanks!
Totally
And preferable named exports, and no default exports
Btw, WebStorm has this ‘intent’ that changes it for you - might exist in other editors too. Ideal when refactoring in legacy code
