es6 modules: import specific-functions as aName

I'd like to import specific functions from another module. But I faced naming collision: I have similar function names in my importing file. I'd like to do something like this:

// exporterFile.js

export {
    set,
    get,
    has,
    foo,
    bar,
}

// implementation code for set, get, etc.
// importerFile.js

import {get, set} as exporter from "exporterFile.js"

function get() {
    // some code and call set from exporter
    exporter.set(something)
}

I know I could import * as exporter from "exporterFile.js" but it lacks readability and does not show what methods (functions) I am using from the exporter file.

Also, I know I could import {get as exporterGet, set as exporterSet} from "exporterFile.js" but it is not so readable.

Is there an elegant, clear, readable way to import selected functions from a module without naming collision? If not, what is the best practice and approach and suggestion: readability is very important, tree-shaking is a consideration as well.

There are no alternatives to the two ways you already mentioned. Readability is subjective, but both exporterGet() and exporter.get() are good choices that are common. If you explicitly want to list all the used function in the import statement itself, you will have to give them individual aliases. Tree shaking tools will be able to handle both formats.
