How to export one file to NodeJS and ReactJS?

Question

I'm trying to export one object array file to nodeJS and ReactJS.

for example:

config.js

const config = {
  mode: "active", 
}
export default config;

I need to import this to the nodeJS file. At that time it's showing error on the export tag.

I tried this way:

    exports.config = {
      mode: "active", 
    }
    //export default config;

It's working on nodeJS. but I can't use this file to react. is there any possible way of using the same file for both.

NB: node version: v12.13.0

Try using import { config } from './config' to import the config file — blankart

In the case of using exports.config, you can access the config file by using

import { config } from './config`

In case you want to make the config as your default export just like in export default config, use module.exports = config

when I'm using module.exports = config I can't access the object items from node and react.

Are you sure you are importing it right? Import it using import config from './config' and make sure to use module.exports = config
