Inspectopedia 2025.2 Help

'module.exports' is used instead of 'export'

Reports a module.export statement. Suggests replacing it with an export or export default statement.

Please note that the quick-fix for converting module.export into export is not available for module.export inside functions or statements because export statements can only be at the top level of a module.
