Problem with converting code to ES6 Discord.js-CodePudding

I have old code for discord bot and i'm trying to write this in ES6. Here is code:

const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commandsBackend/').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for (const file of commandFiles) {
  const command = require(`./commandsBackend/${file}`);
  client.commands.set(command.name, command);
}

if (interaction.commandName === 'ping' || interaction.commandName === 'p') {
  client.commands.get('ping').execute(message, args, db);
};

I have problem with this line

const command = require(`./commandsBackend/${file}`);

I tried to convert this to:

import command from `./commandsBackend/${file}` or import {command} from `./commandsBackend/${file}`

but this isn't working. I have this error:

file:///home/runner/VeriusBot/index.js:33
  import command from `./commandsBackend/${file}`;
         ^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

I want to convert this that this will be working, i don't want to write all imports for all commands on top of file. Can someone help?

CodePudding user response：

Considering that this code should be within an async function, you can do:

const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commandsBackend/').filter((file) => file.endsWith('.js'))

for (const file of commandFiles) {
  const command = await import(`./commandsBackend/${file}`)
  client.commands.set(command.name, command)
}

if (['ping', 'p'].includes(interaction.commandName)) {
  client.commands.get('ping').execute(message, args, db)
}

Inside your package.json file, change "type" to: "type": "module"

{
  // ^^^
  "type": "module",
  // VVV
