my code :
const person = {
name: 'Aish',
age:21,
}
export default person;
error : Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export' (at main.js:6:1)
Change script extensions to .mjs, or add an entry to package.json: "type" : "module" .
*Node.js fully supports ECMAScript modules as they are currently specified and provides interoperability between them and its original module format, CommonJS.
Enabling#
Node.js has two module systems: CommonJS modules and ECMAScript modules.Authors can tell Node.js to use the ECMAScript modules loader via the .mjs file extension, the package.json "type" field, or the --input-type flag. Outside of those cases, Node.js will use the CommonJS module loader. See Determining module system for more details.**
This is because you're using ES6 import/export but the environment you're working on is using commonjs
for Node.js
go to your package.json and set the type entry as "module"
example:
{
"name": "test",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"type": "module",
...
}
Note: make sure to update your nodejs to latest version
for Browser
in your script tag add type='module' as an attribute
example:
<script src="./index.js" type="module" defer></script>
