How to translate require to es6 import/export for node module

Question

I want to use the pokedex-promise for a pokemonapi but the docs only show you how to require it in vanilla javascript style:

npm install pokedex-promise-v2 --save var Pokedex = require('pokedex-promise-v2'); var P = new Pokedex();

How do I use import to get this module? I've tried

import {Pokedex} from 'pokedex-promise-v2'

and

import Pokedex from 'pokedex-promise-v2'

but both throw errors with the module:

in ./~/tough-cookie/package.json Module parse failed: /Users/jlei/Desktop/pokeapp/node_modules/tough-cookie/package.json Unexpected token (2:9) You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.

I think your code is not transpiring properly. can you share transpiler code part. nd mention the error in the question. — Rafi Ud Daula Refat

what is the transpiler code part? is that something from babel? i've added the error — stackjlei

you need to use webpack or gulp or anything for that purpose. — Rafi Ud Daula Refat

It seems you are using webpack. Some code is trying to include a package.json file. In order for this to work you have to configure json-loader or configure webpack to ignore that file. The error has nothing to do with the code you posted. — Felix Kling

You need to add the json-loader for webpack. Install via NPM:

npm install --save json-loader

Then add it to your webpack config like so:

module: { loaders: [ /* ...other loaders */ { test: /\.json$/, loader: 'json', }, ], },

This will allow webpack to load the json file when it's bundling.
