Discussion on: How to use ES6 import syntax in Node.js

[Mohamed Dahir]

I would like to point out that there are a couple of nuances when moving from babel-translated import syntax to native ES module imports:

• You need to specify the extension for relative files
• You cannot use require in your ES modules
• You cannot use named imports to import from non-ES modules

I'd say it is a bit messy at the moment but it is the future and we have to embrace it. For more information, See
