Node is unable to find the axios package I installed. In NPM I tried the following (thinking it was an npm issue):

npm uninstall axios
npm cache clean --force
npm install axios
npm uninstall axios
npm cache clean --force
npm install axios -S

in my app.js file I have the following listed as axios states to do with node:

const axios = require('axios');

I also tried the following:

const axios = require('axios').default;  //I figured this would not work because I am not using typescript
var axios = require('axios');

When I run my local server in npm I get this error:

(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import axios from './lib/axios.js';
                                                              ^^^^^^

I am running npm v5.0.0 and node v8.0.0 I have checked several stackoverflow pages for the solution but none of them seemed to offer a solution to this issue. Here are the pages I have checked: import axios from axios - Parsing error: Unexpected token Unable to load Axios in Node even though it is installed Why do I get an error while trying to install axios? Module not found when new dependency is installed Javascript require method is not finding axios module

I also looked at the GitHub page and couldn't find a solution: https://github.com/axios/axios/issues/2082 Here is where I am using axios:

function onClick(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  grecaptcha.ready(function() {
    grecaptcha.execute(secrets.recaptcahUrl, {action: 'submit'}).then(function(token) {
        // Add your logic to submit to your backend server here.
        axios.post(secrets.recaptcahUrl, {
          secret: secrets.recaptchaSecretKey,
          response: token
        })
        // logic to validate response token here
        .then(function (response) {
          console.log(response); //I wanted to log it first to see what is returned
        })
        .catch(function (error){
          console.log(error);
        });
    });
  });
}

and

app.post(home, (req, res) => {

  // onSubmit(this);
  const user = BuildNameAndEmail(req);
  onclick(res);
// I am doing more stuff but it is unrelated to axios

Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Your version of node won't work with the latest version of axios. Instead use an older version of the axios library. You can install it like this:

npm install --save-exact axios@^0.27.2

I tried to find any official document related to your issue. Found nothing but a GitHub discussion that says:

We build for the lowest of v10, any lower than that is not guaranteed to work.

I guess this is the reason you are having this issue.
