Not able to import passport-local-mongoose

Question

I am getting this error even after everything is correct. I have crossed checked everything from tutorial, even how modules are exported line by line. MongoDB shell is running in background.

xyz/authdemo/node_modules/passport-local-mongoose/index.js:125

  .then(({ user }) => {
         ^


SyntaxError: Unexpected token {

Here is my app.js

var express                 = require("express"),
    mongoose                = require("mongoose"),
    passport                = require("passport"),
    bodyParser              = require("body-parser"),
    LocalStrategy           = require("passport-local"),
    passportLocalMongoose   = require("passport-local-mongoose");

mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost/auth_demo_app");

var app = express();

app.set("view engine", "ejs");

app.get("/", function(req, res){
    res.render("home");
});

app.get("/secret", function(req, res){
    res.render("secret");   
})

app.listen(3000, function(){
    console.log("Authentication server started");
});

Please correct the code and point out the mistake. Thanks.

Arrow functions are supported starting from node 6.4.1.

You can find more information about supported functions by version at http://node.green/

Update your node installation and the error will disappear
