Node.js: SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

by

In order to use the import syntax (ESModules), you need to add the following to your package.json at the top level:

{
    // ...
    "type": "module"
}

If you are using a version of Node earlier than 13, you additionally need to use the --experimental-modules flag when you run the program:

node --experimental-modules program.js

Hope it helps!
