I am trying to make simple example of vanilla ES import export.
index.js
import
needs a fully qualified URL. You can't leave off the extension unless the absolute URL doesn't have an extension on it.
So judging by your examples use:
import {foo} from './mathModule.js';
As Nimeshka Srimal caught, it looks like the extension requirement varies between implementations. Firefox is appending .js
automatically, but Chrome and Safari expect the actual address.
I'm looking at the spec, 15.2.2 Imports, and there doesn't seem to be any specification on whether the implementer should append the extension automatically or not.
Additionally, as ASDFGerte pointed out from the MDN docs on import:
The module to import from. This is often a relative or absolute path name to the .js file containing the module. Certain bundlers may permit or require the use of the extension; check your environment. Only single quotes and double quotes Strings are allowed.
The simplest would be to remove the export
and import
expressions since you're already including both files in your html.
const foo = Math.sqrt(2) // mathModule.js
console.log(foo) // main.js
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<script src="mathmodule.js"></script>
<script src="main.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
If you are using node or something similar to run the script, maybe you should use a transpiler such as babel. Import
and Export
are "new" javascript features hence they're not implemented in most browsers
