reqdef

reqdef is a small utility to help require a module that may be using export default in a CommonJS environment.

$ npm install --save reqdef

Instead of using this:

const { default: myFunction } = require('./myFunction');
// ...or...
const myFunction = require('./myFunction').default;

You can do this:

const myFunction = require('reqdef')(require('./myFunction'));

reqdef also supports passing a module name:

const myFunction = require('reqdef')('my-function-on-in-packagejson');
