Is there any one-line analogy in ES6 for ES5 `module.exports = require('./inner.js')`?

Question

// before
module.exports = require('./inner.js');
// nowadays
export default from './inner.js';

i'm trying to do this, but babel allow it only in es7 stage 1 as it is proposal for now. So for now, im stick to these two lines:

import sticker from './box-sticker.jsx';
export default sticker;

Can I shorter them to one?

You should be able to do

export {default as default} from './inner.js';
// or even
export {default} from './inner.js';

with current ES6 semantics.

However I don't think there's anything wrong with using the ES next proposal, I'm pretty confident that it will make it into ~~ES7~~ ES8.

That case can be shortened to `export {default} from './inner.js';` – JMM Aug 26 '15 at 19:58
@PhysRex Whether one can omit the file extension or not depends on the module loader that resolves the name, but this has nothing to do with the question – Bergi Jun 10 '18 at 13:09
Has this technique/pattern a well-known name? Is this the modern way of the "Module (Design) Pattern" ? – Alex 75 Jan 08 '22 at 12:08
@Alex75 I don't see a particular pattern here – Bergi Jan 08 '22 at 14:29
