Unless I very much missed it, there is not even a single example of a ESM module.\r\n\r\nI know, `import` and `export` are part of the language base, and node's documentation doesn't cover the Javascript language. In this case, I think its necessary to at least have a single example, such as:\r\n```\r\nexport function whatever() {};\r\nexport function somethingElse() {};\r\nexport default {\r\n  whatever,\r\n   somethingElse,\r\n};\r\n```\r\n\r\nNot having this makes the import docs hard to understand, they talk a lot about \"exports\" and \"default exports\", but without defining them.\r\n\r\nAlso, having read through ~600 lines of documentation on ECMAscript modules and still having to scrape the internet to figure out how to write one is not a great documentation experience :-).\r\n\r\n\u003c!--\r\nThank you for reporting a possible bug in Node.js.\r\n\r\nPlease fill in as much of the template below as you can.\r\n\r\nVersion: output of `node -v`\r\nPlatform: output of `uname -a` (UNIX), or version and 32 or 64-bit (Windows)\r\nSubsystem: if known, please specify the affected core module name\r\n\r\nIf possible, please provide code that demonstrates the problem, keeping it as\r\nsimple and free of external dependencies as you can.\r\n-->\r\n\r\n* **Version**: master/12\r\n* **Platform**: any\r\n* **Subsystem**: doc\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Please provide more details below this comment. -->\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/sam-github","@type":"Person","name":"sam-github"},"datePublished":"2019-06-04T17:33:15Z","url":"https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/28060"}
