React-slick: module export change from commonjs to es6 is a breaking change.

Created on 21 Apr 2017 · 3Comments · Source: akiran/react-slick

We notice that 7 days ago the package module export way changes.(after ver 0.14.8)
from module.exports = Slider to export default Slider. This will cause the package which depend on react-slick using require('react-slick') fail to work, so this change should be a breaking change which is not expressed in npm package version.

the babel plugin add-module-exports can be used in your build process to have a better compatibility for both commonjs & es6 modules.

This change should indeed be released as 1.15.* , as it's a breaking change, and for us it broke production for few minutes, cause in package.json we had react-slick: "^0.14.6" :)

anyway, another way to overcome it is to do:

var Slider = require('react-slick').default

Agreed. This also causes the community-produced typings file to no longer be valid. NPM Build version should be upped to prevent breaking builds until people choose to go to the higher version.
