What is @babel/plugin-syntax-export-default-from?
The @babel/plugin-syntax-export-default-from package allows Babel to parse a specific type of export syntax that is not officially part of the ECMAScript standard. This syntax allows for exporting a default export from another module directly from within the export statement.
What are @babel/plugin-syntax-export-default-from's main functionalities?
Enable parsing of export default from syntax
This feature allows developers to write an export statement that both imports a default export from a module and immediately exports it as a named export from the current module. This is a shorthand that can make re-exporting more concise.
export v from 'mod';

@babel/plugin-proposal-export-default-from
This package is a Babel plugin that not only allows Babel to parse the export default from syntax but also transforms it into a form that can be executed in environments that do not support this syntax natively. It is a more complete solution compared to @babel/plugin-syntax-export-default-from, which only enables parsing.
@babel/preset-env
