getting a import statement error in node js-CodePudding

I started learning node.js recently. I was using vs code and going through url module and got this error.

PS G:\node js> node "g:\node js\urlmodule.js"
(node:1964) Warning: To load an ES module, set "type": "module" in the package.json or use the .mjs extension.
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
g:\node js\urlmodule.js:1
import url from 'url';
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

the code was-

import url from 'url';

const myURL = new URL('https://example.org');
myURL.pathname = '/a/b/c';
myURL.search = '?d=e';
myURL.hash = '#fgh';

console.log(myURL)
console.log(myURL.href)

Try to set:

"type": "module"

In your package.json file.

CodePudding user response：

You have to include "type": "module" in package.json file.

Looks like you don't have setup to support es6 imports. Try using commonJS imports:

Eg: const url = require('url'); If you wanna use es6 import please follow this.
