Node Error Must use import to load ES module-CodePudding

I have the following code:

import { toString } from 'nlcst-to-string';
import { retext } from 'retext';
import retextPos from 'retext-pos';
import retextKeywords from 'retext-keywords';


const sentence =
"President Obama woke up Monday facing a Congressional defeat that many in both parties believed could hobble his presidency."


function process(params) {
    // some code

}

exports.main = processComment;

But I am getting the following error:

[ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES module

Which is strange because I already am using import.

I have also tried adding "type": "module" to package.json - no luck. Tried ending the file extension in .mjs - nothing

CodePudding user response：

It’s either your node version or None of your import locations have ./

Even if those files are in the same directory as your main js file you still need that.

Unless that’s so npm library I have never heard of.

CodePudding user response：

Check your node version. Node version 14 supports the type: "module"

node --version

If you have node version manager, you can run

nvm install your_desired_version_here

to get a compliant version
