Why this simple export is giving me error in nodejs?-CodePudding

I got this example product js file and i am exporting it and using it in the node routes

let products = [
    {
      _id: "1",
      name: "Airpods Wireless Bluetooth Headphones",
    },
    {
      _id: "2",
      name: "iPhone 11 Pro 256GB Memory",
    },
    {
      _id: "3",
      name: "Cannon EOS 80D DSLR Camera",
    },
  ];
  
  export default products

and i am getting that data in the server.js like this

const products = require('./data/products')

const app = express()

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
    res.json('api running')
})

app.get('/api/products', (req, res) => {
    res.json(products)
})


app.get("/api/products/:id", (req, res) => {
    const product = products.filter(p => p._id === req.params.id);
     res.json(product);
});

but whenever i try to run the server i got this error Unexpected token 'export'. Why this simple export is giving me error?

CodePudding user response：

You can use common js module syntax instead of es6 module syntax for exporting products:

module.exports = products;
