I'm running into an issue that seems to be very popular with Node / NPM
None of my search results seems to address my issue exactly...
I'm using Restify & NodeJs...but a simple npm run start produces the following error...
import logger from 'src/modules/amLogger.js';
^^^^^^

Here is my am.js file
'use strict';
require('dotenv').config();
import logger from 'src/modules/amLogger.js';
import chalk from 'chalk';
import util from 'util';
/**
* Module Dependencies
*/
const restify = require('restify'),
winston = require('winston'),
errs = require('restify-errors'),
art = require('ascii-art'),
compression = require('compression');
// create the Restify Server
const server = restify.createServer({
name: 'example',
version: 'v0.0.1',
...
The error is happening at import logger from 'src/modules/amLogger.js'; however if I comment out this line the error simply moves to the next import statement -- I've also tried running this without the 'use strict';
What am I missing?
