SyntaxError: Unexpected token import - Node.js

Question

When I run node app.js, I am presented with the following error:

import './react/features/base/react/prop-types-polyfill.js'; ^^^^^^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token import at createScript (vm.js:80:10) at Object.runInThisContext (vm.js:139:10) at Module._compile (module.js:616:28) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:663:10) at Module.load (module.js:565:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:505:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:497:3) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:693:10) at startup (bootstrap_node.js:188:16) at bootstrap_node.js:609:3

I am not sure how to fix this because my application requires the import. My application did run with node_modules/.bin/webpack-dev-server and was built successfully.

Thanks

Install babel-cli and use babel node to run the script. It will work then as ES5 does not support import. You need to run it using es6.

babel node app.js
