I'm trying to get the hang of ES6 imports in node and am trying to use the syntax provided in this example:

Cheatsheet Link

I'm looking through the support table, but was not able to find what version supports the new import statements (I tried looking for the text import/require) I'm currently running node 8.1.2 and also believe that since the cheatsheet is referring to .js files it should work with .js files.

As I run the code (taken from cheatsheet's 1st example):

import { square, diag } from 'lib'; 

I get the error:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token import. 

Reference to lib I'm trying to import:

//------ lib.js ------ export const sqrt = Math.sqrt; export function square(x) { return x * x; } export function diag(x, y) { return sqrt(square(x) + square(y)); } 

What am I missing and how can I get node to recognize my import statement?
