Clarification of Typescript syntax specifically related to export and import

TSExport.md

This table associates different export statement forms with the expected export name and local names:

For importing, though...

  • If you are importing a default export, you have to explicitly name the import. Default exports will not automatically have a local name after importing. Example: import express from "express". The local name does not matter. Could as well be import banana from "express".
  • If you are importing a named export, by default, the local name will be the same as the exported name. Example: If you have export const x = 2, then, you should import it as import { x } from "module". You can also rename the import like this: `import { x as y } from "module".
