+# no-anonymous-default-export
+
+Reports if an unnamed literal or anonymous function is exported as a module's default.
+This helps improve the grepability of the codebase by encouraging the re-use of the same identifier for the module's default export at its declaration site and at its import sites.
+
+## Rule Details
+
+### Fail
+```js
+export default 123
+```
+
+```js
+export default function () {}
+```
+
+### Pass
+```js
+const foo = 123
+export default foo
+```
+
+```js
+export default function foo() {}
