How to fix the error "unexpected token "{". import call expects exactly one argument"
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
Here is how to fix the error SyntaxError: Unexpected token '{'. import call expects exactly one argument.
Here is how I solved the “SyntaxError: Unexpected token ’{’. import call expects exactly one argument.” error.
I had this problem in Safari. The same problem in Chrome is shown as “Uncaught SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module”, but the cause is the same.
I was trying to load a script that used ES module style imports, when I noticed the script was not loading, and I had this error in the browser console:
"SyntaxError: Unexpected token '{'. import call expects exactly one argument."
All I had to do to fix this was to use
<script type="module" src="./file.js"></script>
instead of
<script src="./file.js"></script>
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
