SyntaxError: Cannot use import statements outside a module about proshop_mern HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello,
Instead of import try using, const packageName = require("package") or
const name = require("./path to some folder")

The reason why import doesn't work is because we don't have babel configured which compiles es6 and other higher version of javascript to the level where all the browsers can understand it.

and Node doesn't come with babel or webpack configuration

Hope it helps

As stated, I have a PR that involves running Babel first to solve this issue -thanks! #3

Please update your version of Node to latest. and add "type": "module" in the package.json
