### What it does

This rule disallows specified names from being used as exported names.

By default, this rule doesn’t disallow any names. Only the names you specify in the configuration will be disallowed.

### Why is this bad?

In a project, certain names may be disallowed from being used as exported names for various reasons.

## Configuration

This rule accepts a configuration object with the following properties:

### restrictDefaultExports

type: `object`

An object with boolean properties to restrict certain default export
declarations. This option works only if the `restrictedNamedExports`
option does not contain the `"default"` value.

#### restrictDefaultExports.defaultFrom

type: `boolean`

default: `false`

Whether to restrict `export { default } from` declarations.

Example of **incorrect** code for `"restrictDefaultExports": { "defaultFrom": true }`:

```js
export { default } from "foo";
```

#### restrictDefaultExports.direct

type: `boolean`

default: `false`

Whether to restrict `export default` declarations.

Example of **incorrect** code for `"restrictDefaultExports": { "direct": true }`:

```js
const foo = 123;
export default foo;
```

#### restrictDefaultExports.named

type: `boolean`

default: `false`

Whether to restrict `export { foo as default }` declarations.

Example of **incorrect** code for `"restrictDefaultExports": { "named": true }`:

```js
const foo = 123;
export { foo as default };
```

#### restrictDefaultExports.namedFrom

type: `boolean`

default: `false`

Whether to restrict `export { foo as default } from` declarations.

Example of **incorrect** code for `"restrictDefaultExports": { "namedFrom": true }`:

```js
export { foo as default } from "foo";
```

#### restrictDefaultExports.namespaceFrom

type: `boolean`

default: `false`

Whether to restrict `export * as default from` declarations.

Example of **incorrect** code for `"restrictDefaultExports": { "namespaceFrom": true }`:

```js
export * as default from "foo";
```

### restrictedNamedExports

type: `string[]`

default: `[]`

An array of strings, where each string is a name to be restricted.

Example of **incorrect** code for `"restrictedNamedExports": ["foo"]`:

```ts
export const foo = 1;
```

Example of **correct** code for `"restrictedNamedExports": ["foo"]`:

```ts
export const bar = 1;
```

By design, this option doesn't disallow export default declarations. If
you configure `default` as a restricted name, that restriction will apply
only to named export declarations.

Example of **incorrect** code for `"restrictedNamedExports": ["default"]`:

```ts
function foo() {}
export { foo as default };

export { default } from "some_module";
```

### restrictedNamedExportsPattern

type: `string`

A string representing a regular expression pattern. Named exports
matching this pattern will be restricted. This option does not apply to
default named exports.

Example of **incorrect** code for \`"restrictedNamedExportsPattern": "bar$":

```ts
export const foobar = 1;
```

Example of **correct** code for \`"restrictedNamedExportsPattern": "bar$":

```ts
export const foo = 1;
```
