Allow exporting unused functions about faucet-pipeline-js

[FND]

This happens due to tree shaking, for which so far there wasn't a reason to make it configurable. In your case, you'll want to export render:

export default function render(…) {
    …
}

module.exports = {
    …
    js: [{
        …
        exports: "render",
        …
    }]
};

HTH.

Thanks for the reply and the hint to the documentation. I did export the function, but it also generates the line export default render which the caller cannot handle. I'm trying to use the generated views.js with the java Nashorn Scripting Engine, below is the error message to be specific.

I'm using these technologies for the first time (both the java as well as the javascript side) so it is possible that I can work around it in some other way that I do not yet know. I'll need to have another look at this at some later point. Thanks!

Oh, right, I should have pointed out that you'll want `format: "iife"` in that context (or just omit that line, as IIFE is the default): Nashorn doesn't support the modern ESM format. Let us know if you run into any more trouble; we're happy to help.

That indeed works! thanks for the help :) Closing this.
