I have a problem. I am trying to run my NodeJS script using the command:
node /var/script/NodeJS/test.js
But when I run it, I get the following error:
/var/script/NodeJS/node_modules/node-fetch/src/index.js:9
import http from 'http';
^^^^

I have already run the following commands in the terminal:
cd /var/script/NodeJS
npm install
npm install http
npm install node-fetch
I am running node version: v10.19.0
Here is the code I have that gives the error:
const express = require("express");
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const app = express();
const PORT = process.env.PORT = 8787;
let router = express.Router();
It's just the imports, but this code already gives the provided error!
I can see both the modules in the node_module
folder, so why am I getting this error and how can I fix this?
CodePudding user response:
rename file extension from .js
to .mjs
filename must be: test.mjs
import fetch from 'node-fetch';
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
let router = express.Router();
const PORT = process.env.PORT = 8787;
also keep in mind node-fetch has requriements on node version:
Bonus: If You don't like to use mjs and etc try to install [email protected]
npm i --save node-fetch@2.6.5
