Description

**Bad code snippet:**
```javascript
"./loader"
```

**Description:**
The APIView parser is generating bare string literals to denote module exports, which do not represent actual source code. This misleads reviewers and does not accurately reflect the intended export syntax.

**Expected behavior:**
The parser should emit valid export statements that match the source code, such as:

**Good code snippet:**
```javascript
export * from './loader';
```

This would improve clarity and ensure the APIView output matches the actual codebase.

Research direction

Start with the JavaScript APIView parser and reproduce the output using the bad code snippet, then compare it with the expected export statement. Done means the parser emits valid export syntax such as `export * from './loader';` rather than a bare string literal.
