How to use es6 import instead of require?

Question

I want to use import in my file, but I cant find the way to replace my require properly

See the code I want to replace

const object = { first: require('../example/first.json').EXL.PUBLIC, second: require('../example/second.json').EXL.PUBLIC, third: require('../example/third.json').EXL.PUBLIC }

First question is how can I import those stuff directly to an object? Just like I did with require?

The second one, how can I use import with the .EXL.PUBLIC command? To directly import the right branch of the json file?

What environment are you doing this in? Node.js? What version? — T.J. Crowder

You can't, you have to import them and then add them to the objct.

The second one, how can I use import with the '.EXL.PUBLIC' command?

You have to import the item, then extract that property.

I'm going to assume you're using Node.js:

v8 through v11

In an .mjs module, you can do it like this:

import firstRoot from "../example/first.json"; import secondRoot from "../example/second.json"; import thirdRoot from "../example/third.json"; const object = { first: firstRoot.EXL.PUBLIC, second: secondRoot.EXL.PUBLIC, third: thirdRoot.EXL.PUBLIC };

v12

You can still do it as in v11.

If you use ESM with a .js file via the new "type": "module" in package.json, you need to add the --experimental-json-modules flag to enable JSON loading. More about v12's support here, but note that --type isn't yet supported (and if it is, will probably be --entry-type), and the JSON flag is --experimental-json-modules, not --experimental-json-loader).
