How do I export a function from a module for a class that is built into javascript?-CodePudding

I'm trying to export a function to use in another module, but it's one that I'm adding to the String javascript class.

How would I export the function to use in another module?

This is what I tried and it didn't work

String.prototype.trimChars = function(chars) {...}
export {String}

How do I make it so that this function is added to the string class as trimChars?

CodePudding user response：

You can simply forgo the export, and import in another module. However, patching objects like this is not recommended, as it can introduce problems, if say, a browser adds a new function to String that happens to have the same name.

// in the other module
import "path/to/module.js";
