# group-exports

[Added in v0.9.4](https://github.com/web-infra-dev/rslint/releases/tag/v0.9.4)
## Configuration


```ts title=rslint.config.ts
import { defineConfig, importPlugin } from '@rslint/core';

export default defineConfig([
  importPlugin.configs.recommended,
  {
    rules: {
      'import/group-exports': 'error',
    },
  },
]);
```

## Rule Details

Keep named exports together so a module's public API is easier to find. This rule
reports every declaration in a group that contains multiple exports:

- Local named exports form one group.
- Named re-exports form a separate group for each source string.
- Type exports are grouped separately from value exports.
- CommonJS assignments to `module.exports`, `module.exports.name`, and
  `exports.name` form one group for the file.

Named re-exports with different import attributes belong to different groups. Equivalent attribute sets stay in the same group regardless of property order.

Named export groups are separate for each namespace or declared module body.
CommonJS checks also recognize literal access such as `module["exports"]` and
computed export names such as `exports[name]` or `module.exports[name]`.

Default export declarations and star exports are ignored. An inline type
specifier, such as `export { type Config }`, belongs to the value export group;
use `export type { Config }` for a type export group.

Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:

```javascript
export const first = true;
export const second = true;
```

```javascript
export { first } from './values';
export { second } from './values';
```

```javascript
module.exports = {};
exports.first = true;
```

Examples of **correct** code for this rule:

```typescript
const first = true;
const second = true;
type Config = { enabled: boolean };

export { first, second };
export type { Config };
```

```javascript
export { first, second } from './values';
export { default as service } from './service';
```

```javascript
module.exports = { first: true, second: true };
```

Deeper assignments such as `module.exports.first.enabled = true` modify an
existing export and do not count as new exports. Assignments to locally declared
`module` or `exports` bindings are also ignored.

The rule does not provide automatic fixes or suggestions.

## Options

This rule has no options.

## When Not To Use It

Disable this rule if your project prefers exports beside their declarations or
allows CommonJS exports to be assigned in several places.

## Differences from upstream

Compared with eslint-plugin-import 2.32.0:

- Exports in different namespace or module bodies do not trigger each other.
  For example, `namespace A { export const a = 1 }` and
  `namespace B { export const b = 2 }` can coexist without a report. Multiple
  exports within either body are still reported.
- Repeated re-exports from `"__proto__"` are reported just like any other source.
  Upstream misses them.
- Dynamic access such as `module[exports]` and private members such as
  `module.#exports` are not treated as CommonJS exports. Literal access such as
  `module["exports"]` or ``module[`exports`]`` does count. Upstream reports the
  first two forms but misses the literal forms.
- Assignments such as `getBox().exports.a = 1` do not count as CommonJS exports.
  Upstream can report them along with other assignments to the returned object.
  CommonJS targets must start at the `module` or `exports` identifier.
- Local bindings named `module` or `exports` are ignored. For example,
  `function setup(exports) { exports.a = 1; exports.b = 2; }` does not export from
  the file and is not reported. Upstream reports both assignments.
