Import in nodejs 10.11.0 - how to make it work?

Question

JavaScript

import app from 'electron';
import BrowserWindow from 'electron';

app.on('ready', () => {

   createWindow();

});

app.on('window-all-closed', function() {
    app.quit();
});


function createWindow() {
    let appWindow = new BrowserWindow({
        width: 800,
        height: 600,
        devTools:true,
    });
    appWindow.loadURL(path.join(__dirname, 'App/index.html'));
    return appWindow;
};

When run, it gives :
import app from 'electron';
^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
If replaced with import {app,BrowserWindow} from 'electron'; gives:
import {app,BrowserWindow} from 'electron';
^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token {
I run it like this:
"start": "node app.js"
with the --experimental-modules flag, I also tried it - nothing changes
Any idea what the problem is?

Answer 1

It's best to use https://babeljs.io/ and not worry about what is for the backend and what is for the frontend. Firstly, you don’t have to change anything (such as an extension for using mjs), on the other hand, now it is the de facto standard in the js world, and thirdly, there is no way at all in the front without it.

Answer 3

As stated in the documentation - ES6 imports only work in files with the .mjs extension when the --experimental-modules flag is enabled.
The reasons for this behavior are well written in an article from one of the node.js developers

And if such an unexpected option.
Write, for example, like this May work (but this is not accurate).
