Chrome 61: Unexpected token import


That should be <script type=module src=test.js>. The entire syntax is subtly changed in module scripts (import and export are allowed, as well as strict mode being mandatory).


For those of you who want to know exactly what worked for me, it was kind of a combination of a couple answers from above. I also had to enable the ES6 import capabilities of Chrome by typing chrome://flags in the URL bar and searching for "import".

First the HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head>    <meta charset="UTF-8">    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">    <title>Testing JavaScript Stuff</title></head><body>    <script type="module">        import { circleArea, squareArea } from './CalcArea.js';        console.log(circleArea(2));        console.log(squareArea(2));    </script></body></html>

So as you can see just add the type "module" to your script tag, then below you do the import. For my test the CalcArea.js file is this:

const circleArea = r => 3.14 * (r ** 2);const squareArea = s => s * s;export {circleArea, squareArea};


Finally... figured it out. chrome://flags search for import enable ES6 import syntax. Restart Chrome. Be happy.
