Node js SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'

Question

I'm having the following error in the console when I try to run my api written in node js.

Can you tell me which is the problem.

Answer 1

Importing is generally done at the top of your files and looks like this:

import User, {schema} from './model.js'

Exporting is generally done at the bottom of your files and looks like this:

module.exports = {User, schema}

And the specific reason why you get the error is because export is not used that way.

Here is a direct quote from Web Docs:

export DefaultExport from 'bar.js'; // Invalid
