My advice on solving this problem I encountered
THE AHA STACK MASTERCLASS
Launching May 27th
If you are using the import statement to import different files in your JavaScript application, you might find the browser giving you this error: Unexpected Identifier.
Why? And how can you make ES6 modules work in browsers?
You just have to do one tiny change: instead of loading your main entry point JavaScript file using
<script src="index.js"></script>add type="module":
<script type="module" src="index.js"></script>and things should now work fine.
