There is a code sample in react's blog. Which looks like this:
export class Counter extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {count: props.initialCount};
}
tick() {
this.setState({count: this.state.count + 1});
}
render() {
return (
<div onClick={this.tick.bind(this)}>
Clicks: {this.state.count}
</div>
);
}
}
What does the export
statement mean in this case?
I found this article on mdn but it describes another meaning

It is used for ES6 modules
In that case it is exporting a class from that module, so you would be able to import it in another module using:
import { Counter } from 'path_to_counter';
You will need something like Webpack to do the module loading if you are using a browser, and possibly a transpiler like Babel.js for the ES6 transpilation
