I am using the latest nodejs version, but am still getting an error while using es6 module import.
I could also find on a blog that node doesn't yet support es6 import module. https://nodesource.com/blog/es-modules-and-node-js-hard-choices/ - no JavaScript runtime currently supports ES Modules. I am new to javascript and node, is anyone using es6 module import with nodejs, without transpiling the code to lower js versions.
You can if you are willing to use a tool like Babel.
npm i -D babel babel-cli babel-core babel-preset-es2015 Create a file .babelrc and put the following in it:
{ "presets": ["es2015"] } And then in package.json in the scripts section do some thing like this:
"dev": "babel src -d dist && node dist/your_file.js" This will transpile all of the code in a directory named src/ but it in a directory called dist/, and then run the file you specify.
It can then be used via the command as follows:
npm dev 
UPDATE 2019: import / export statements are supported in node v12. Right now behind the --experimental-modules flag. Which is supposed to be removed this October.
