Multiple React components in a single module - reactjs

Question

I am new to the whole browserify thing.
I have been trying to use browserify + reactify + gulp to transform, minify and combine a React application.
As long as I have a single React.createClass with a single module.exports = MyComponent everything works fine.
Since I have several shared components I physically host in the same file and reuse across projects, I would like to export more than one component.
I have tried an array:
module.exports = [Component1, Component2]
and have also tried an object with multiple properties:
module.exports = {Comp1: Componenet1, Comp2: Component2} and have also tried in-lining the calls to createClass in the object, but that didn't help.
Is there a way to do this or do I have to split every component in to a seperate JSX file?

Answer 1

You can do like this, with an index.js file into your /components/ folder
/components/index.js
import Users from './Users/Users';
import User from './Users/User';
module.exports = {
User,
Users
}
IMPORT
import { Users, User } from './components';
As you can see, I named my file index.js, it prevent me from write it in the import declaration. If you want to name your file with another name than index.js, you'd have to write the name of the file in the import, Node won't guess it ! ^^

Answer 2

I have put multiple components in one file and export the object like you suggested.
module.exports = {
comp1: Component1,
comp2: Component2
}
Then where they are used do
var comp1 = require('your/path/to/components').comp1;
var comp2 = require('your/path/to/components').comp2;

Answer 3

Define functions
function sum(a, b) {
return a + b
}
function sub(a, b) {
return a - b
}
function mul(a, b) {
return a * b
}
Define export
export { sum, sub, mul }
Import functions you need
import { sum, sub } from 'myfile'
or all the functions
import * as myfunctions from 'myfile'
and call as
sum(1+1) or myfunctions.sum(1+1)

Answer 4

I'm new to react and I faced this situation too. And this is how I overcame it.
Along to this question it also answers the following error:
export 'default' (imported as 'db') was not found in './index.js' (possible exports: auth, db).
1st method - use export default & don’t destructure while importing
index.js
const db = // module 1;
const auth = // module 2;
export default { db, auth}; // notice the default keyword here
while importing in other file
import db from "./index.js"
2nd method - use export & destructure while importing
index.js
const db = // module 1;
const auth = // module 2;
export { db, auth};
and while importing
import { db } from "./index.js"
Please note when to use destructuring while using the import statement

Answer 5

I use function to return component.
module.exports = {
comp1: function(){
return Component1;
}
}
Then
var myCompontents = require('./components');
var comp1 = myComponents.comp1();

Answer 6

The following worked for me.
In a single file, MultipleComponents.js, add two or more components like below.
const ComponentA = () => <div>Component A works! </div>
const ComponentB = () => <div>Component B works! </div>
export {ComponentA, ComponentB} // Export this way without using default
Now import these components in any other component you wish like below
import {ComponentA} from 'your/directory/MutlipleFiles;

You can simply export multiple components as an array:
module.exports = [Component1, Component2]
Then to use the components:
var MyComponents = require('your/path/to/components');
var Component1 = MyComponents[0];
var Component2 = MyComponents[1];
