but I can't do this:

const state = {}
export state; // 'Declaration or statement expected' error

So you have 2ways to use export: This one you've already done:

export const state = /*whatever you want*/

And this one:

const state = /*whatever you want*/
export { state };

And then you may use it with:

import { state } from './otherFileName'

Quote from documentation:

Syntax

export { name1, name2, …, nameN };
export { variable1 as name1, variable2 as name2, …, nameN };
export let name1, name2, …, nameN; // also var, function
export let name1 = …, name2 = …, …, nameN; // also var, const
