How do I transition from CommonJS to ES6 modules?

To transition from CommonJS to ES6 modules, you need to replace require statements with import and module.exports with export.

Can you give me an example of how to convert a file?

Sure! If you have a CommonJS file like this:

const myModule = require('./myModule');
module.exports = myFunction;

You would convert it to ES6 like this:

import myModule from './myModule';
export default myFunction;

What about using default exports?

For default exports, you can use the export default syntax. For example:

// CommonJS
module.exports = myFunction;

// ES6
export default myFunction;

Are there any tools to help with this transition?

Yes, tools like Babel can help transpile your code from ES6 to CommonJS, and vice versa, making the transition smoother.
