How to Fix The requested module does not provide an export named error

The ‘The requested module does not provide an export named’ error occurs when trying to import a named export that doesn’t exist in the module, or when there’s a mismatch between export and import syntax.

How the Error Happens

❌ Error Scenario:

// ❌ This causes the error
import { nonExistentFunction } from './myModule.js'; // ❌ Export doesn't exist
// Error: The requested module does not provide an export named 'nonExistentFunction'

✅ Quick Fix - Handle Module Exports Properly

Solution 1: Check Available Exports

// ❌ Importing non-existent export
// import { wrongName } from './module.js';

// ✅ Check what's actually exported in module.js
// export function correctName() { ... }
// export const myValue = 'value';

// ✅ Import correct names
import { correctName, myValue } from './module.js';

Solution 2: Use Default Import When Appropriate

// ❌ Wrong import type
// import { default as myFunction } from './module.js'; // ❌ If it's a default export

// ✅ Correct default import
import myFunction from './module.js';

// ✅ Or import everything
import * as module from './module.js';
const myFunction = module.default;

Solution 3: Verify Export Syntax

// ✅ In the exporting module (module.js)
// Named exports
export const myFunction = () => {};
export const myValue = 'hello';

// Default export
const myDefault = () => {};
export default myDefault;

// ❌ Wrong export syntax
// const myFunction = () => {};
// (no export statement - function won't be available for import)

Solution 4: Use Dynamic Imports for Inspection

// ✅ Dynamically import and inspect available exports
const module = await import('./module.js');
console.log(Object.keys(module)); // ✅ See available exports

// ✅ Then import correctly
import { correctExport } from './module.js';
