Support for Node.js style module.exports

[bentruyman]

As of Node.js 4.2.0 and 5.0.0, much of the desired ES6 functionality many developers have without the need for using tools such as babel. However, Node.js does not yet support ES6 module syntax (any may never support it). But we, and I'm sure many others, would love to use esdoc with native ES6 on Node 4.2.0/5.0.0.

I do not support module.exports, because ESDoc support ES6. However ESDoc plugin feature might help you. https://esdoc.org/api.html#plugin-feature

To get this working for one of my projects, i have a very quick and dirty plugin which is included in via the plugins config in my esdoc file:

exports.onHandleCode = function (ev) {
  ev.data.code = ev.data.code
    .replace(/module\.exports = /g, 'export default ')
    .replace(/exports = /g, 'export default ');
};

@Orgun109uk Same does not work with

exports = module.exports = {}

As it fails even before reaching the onHandleCode
