For a personal project, I'm trying to use ES6 import to write cleaner code. As first test, I'm writing an object that should generate a menu. The whole code is working when I'm directly loading up the class, yet when using the import and export in ES6, it gives an "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier" error on the import
line in main.js
I've got the following files:
assets/js/menu.module.js
'use strict';
export default class Menu
{ ... }
assets/js/main.js
import Menu from "./menu.module.js";
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
const menu = new Menu();
});
index.html
<script type="module" src="assets/js/menu.module.js"></script>
<script src="assets/js/main.js">
Note that these are only the relevant lines of code.
Using the <script type="module">
line or not did not seem to make any difference for me. I do have both the chrome flags for experimental and ES6 Modules enabled, as without them I received an error about import
not being defined.
Chrome version would be 62, so according to different sources (including google's update log itself) this should be working, even without the flags.
Can anyone enlighten me as of why this is not working, and what I am doing wrong?
