when i use require commonjs everything is working

const { Schema, connect } = require("mongoose");

connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/usersdb", {
  useNewUrlParser: true
});

but when i use import es6 i get error

import { connect } from "mongoose";

connect(
  "mongodb://localhost:27017/usersdb",
  {
    useNewUrlParser: true
  }
);

SyntaxError: The requested module >'file:///C:/Users/Rich%20Warrior/Desktop/mon0022/node_modules/mongoose/index>.js' does not provide an export named 'connect'

and if you write like that 

import * as mongoose from "mongoose";

mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/usersdb", {
  useNewUrlParser: true
});

TypeError: mongoose.connect is not a function

package.json

{
  "name": "dur",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon -r esm src/index.js",
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "esm": "^3.2.25",
    "express": "^4.17.1",
    "i": "^0.3.6",
    "mongoose": "^5.7.8",
    "nodemon": "^1.19.4"
  }
}

I want to use the es6 module.Is there a way to use es6 modules with mongoose without getting an error?

  • Does this answer your question? [How can I use an es6 import in node?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45854169/how-can-i-use-an-es6-import-in-node) – Mischa Nov 08 '19 at 12:16
  • Have you tried `import mongoose from "mongoose";` ? The error seems pretty clear that there is no **named** export `connect`. So `import * as mongoose from "mongoose";` won't help either since it only imports named exports. – Felix Kling Nov 08 '19 at 12:16
  • @FelixKling why here is `import mongoose, {connect} from" mongoose ";` doesn’t work – Edgar Nov 08 '19 at 12:30

    I'm not sure I understand the question. `import mongoose, {connect} from" mongoose ";` doesn't work because you are again trying to import an export named `connect` which does not exist. As I said, try `import mongoose from "mongoose";` and then access it with `mongoose.connect`. – Felix Kling Nov 08 '19 at 14:26

NodeJS doesn't support it yet. You will have to use something like bable. Check this out from NodeJS doc as well.

    If that was the problem then the OP would get a different error. The error "does not provide an export named 'connect'" makes it pretty clear that ES6 module *syntax* works fine. – Felix Kling Nov 08 '19 at 12:16
