import/no-default-export Restriction

What it does

Forbids a module from having default exports. This helps your editor provide better auto-import functionality, as named exports offer more explicit and predictable imports compared to default exports.

Why is this bad?

Default exports can lead to confusion, as the name of the imported value can vary based on how it's imported. This can make refactoring and auto-imports less reliable.

Examples

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

export default "bar";

const foo = "foo";
export { foo as default };

Examples of correct code for this rule:

export const foo = "foo";
export const bar = "bar";

How to use

To enable this rule in the CLI or using the config file, you can use:

CLI

oxlint --deny import/no-default-export --import-plugin

Config (.oxlintrc.json)

{
  "plugins": ["import"],
  "rules": {
    "import/no-default-export": "error"
  }
}
