# ES6 export as a Building Block

<zoom-img
            src="/img/post/2022050801.webp"

What is a building block (*brick*) in modern ES2015+ applications? A variable, function, class,
        module? My answer is `export`. Today we organize JavaScript code as ES6 modules and connect them
        via `import`:

```js
import {export1, export2} from "module-name";
```

I'm convinced: JavaScript needs namespaces, like in "serious" languages. I plan to continue this topic in future
        posts.
