This project setup supports ES6 modules thanks to Webpack.<br>
While you can still use `require()` and `module.exports`, we encourage you to use [`import` and `export`](http://exploringjs.com/es6/ch_modules.html) instead.
For example:
### `Button.js`
```js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
class Button extends Component {
render() {
// ...
}
}
export default Button; // Dont forget to use export default!
```
### `DangerButton.js`
```js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Button from './Button'; // Import a component from another file
class DangerButton extends Component {
render() {
return <Button color="red" />;
}
}
export default DangerButton;
```
Be aware of the [difference between default and named exports](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36795819/react-native-es-6-when-should-i-use-curly-braces-for-import/36796281#36796281). It is a common source of mistakes.
We suggest that you stick to using default imports and exports when a module only exports a single thing (for example, a component). Thats what you get when you use `export default Button` and `import Button from './Button'`.
Named exports are useful for utility modules that export several functions. A module may have at most one default export and as many named exports as you like.
