  {keyValue} from './external.js';

  • You cannot use `import` / `export` like that without a precompiler like babel. You need `const keyValue = require('./external.js).keyValue;` –  Jul 19 '18 at 18:04

Its a syntax error issue. Try this code 

(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) {import 
    {keyValue} from './external.js';
})
