Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: How to use es6 modules in node 12?
All you have to do is adding the flag --experimental-modules that supports the new es6 import/export statement also the order is important as the following.
"start": "node --experimental-modules src/index.mjs "
In Node 14 I solved it with workaround.
source of workaround: https://github.com/eslint/eslint/issues/12319#issuecomment-535799024
short summary:
- your root level
package.jsondoesn't support ESM - subdirectory does - in
srcdirectory placepackage.jsonwith{ "type": "module" }
PS: ESLint team can't solve it easily right now, just because of core design... :(
You have to add this line of code in your package.json file "type" : "module" You will be able to use imports statements instead of require if I get your question correctly.
Your package.json will look as follows:
{ "name": "dynamic-es6-mod", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "", "main": "src/index.mjs", "type": "module", "scripts": { "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1", "start": "node src/index.mjs" }, "keywords": [], "author": "", "license": "ISC", "dependencies": { "globby": "^10.0.1" }}
