Improvements for exporting to modules

This change is live on Retool Cloud and it will be included in upcoming edge and stable releases of Self-hosted Retool.

Retool updated the Export to Module feature for usability improvements. This feature allows you to select components on the canvas and “refactor” them into a module.

The following key changes were made:

• You can now export a single component to a module. For example, you could export a single container (and all its children) to a module.
• When making the export, all the related logic, such as queries, variables, and transformers, is automatically included in the exported module. This eliminates the need to manually copy logic to the module.
• Once the export is complete, Retool automatically replaces the selection with the newly created module. This eliminates the need to import the module after you export the selection.

Access Export to Module in one of the following ways:

• Select one or multiple components, right-click, and select Export to module.
• Select multiple components and click in the Inspector.
