Node.js v16.1.0
I am trying to import constants from another js file in the same directory. But i am not being able to do so.
constants.js
export const API_URL = 'http://localhost:8080';
export const MAX_THREADS = 8;
solution.js
/**
* Import constants from the constants.js file
*
* Each console.log should log a separate constant
*/
import { MAX_THREADS } from "./constants.js";
You should do something like the following.
constants.js
const API_URL = 'http://url.com'
const MAX_THREADS = 5
exports.API_URL = API_URL
exports.MAX_THREADS = MAX_THREADS
solution.js
const { API_URL, MAX_THREADS } = require('./constants');
Have you enabled ES modules? Read about it here: https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#esm_enabling
Node.js >= v13
You only need to follow below step be able to use ECMAScript modules.
Add "type": "module" in your package.json.
