exports is not defined

This is very common error when your project has ES6 modules as well as require.js module systems. Here, I will show you few examples on how to require ES6 modules inside an AMD module. It will help you mitigate such errors.

default export

// Employee.js

function Employee () {
 ...
}

export default new Employee();

// HR.js

var Employee = require('Employee').default;

named export

// Employee.js

function Employee () {
 ...
}

export const employee = new Employee();

// HR.js

var Employee = require('Employee').employee;

default is also a named export, with its name being default.
