I am getting an error when trying to import a local file, though no problem when using npm packages.

server.js

import express from \'express\'
import n         


        

Answer 1

on node 12 you have 2 options:

1. use type="module" on package.json, experimental modules and specify extensions with specidier-resolution like this: node --experimental-modules --es-module-specifier-resolution=node src/index

2. or not using specifier-resolution. Keep in mind you'll have to specify the extension of your files every where.
