The export statement below gives a syntax error

export default const hello = () => console.log(say hello)

why ?

I'm only able to export named functions

export function hello() {

  console.log(hello)

}

What is the reason?

Is it possible to export Arrow functions in ES6/7?

Yes. export doesn't care about the value you want to export.

The export statement below gives a syntax error ... why?

You cannot have a default export and give it a name (default is already the name of the export).

Either do

export default () => console.log(say hello);

or

const hello = () => console.log(say hello);

export default hello;
