How to import multiple properties into an object in javascript?

Question

I would like to import specific properties from lodash and export them under the same object.

Right now I am doing

import { omit, get, set } from 'lodash';

const _ = {
  omit,
  get,
  set
};

export default _;

As you can see, I need to repeat each and every property twice.

Is there some syntax that allows me to do it once? for example something like:

import { 
  omit, 
  get, 
  set } as _ from 'lodash';

export default _;

would be great! but this is obviously not supported at the moment.

Is there any other syntax that allows this?

No.. was not aware this is an option. can you please post this an answer so I can approve? — guy mograbi

@HarunYilmaz this actually breaks my code - i need to change all my imports to accommodate to your suggestion. import * as _ from .. any way around it? — guy mograbi

You can export directly from a module as following:

export { omit, get, set } from 'lodash';

this would require to change related imports to be import * as _ from .... any way around it?

I couldn't totally understand your intention. Can you please share how do you want to import these exported variables?

As a workaround to import * as... change, I did the following - I converted the file to folder with 2 files lodash_breakdown and index. in lodash_breakdown I do what you suggest. in index file I do the import * as _ from './lodash_breakdown' and export is default export default _;. This helped me avoid going over all existing imports.

I'd appreciate it if you could incorporate this in your answer.
