submit data to node.js server without form. no require no import , they don't work

I know that maybe I get some negative votes. but it is not a big problem.I have no other option. I tried too much to send data to my node.js server without using form. I used axios. but my main.js doesn't know axios. i installed it

   npm install axios

I imported it

  import axios from ('axios')

but I got the error ( unexpected Identifier)

after that I tried require

 var axios = require ('axios')

but I got the error ( require is not defined)

I installed browserify

 npm install broweserify

after that I bundled it with this code

browserify main.js -o bundle.js

but the same error still remains

require is not defined.

has somebody a solution.

  • Your import syntax seems to be wrong, maybe that is the reason. You don't need the parantheses in import:

    import axios from 'axios'

    I'm also guessing that you are running this code in front-end and not in node.js. that's probably why you get 'require is not defined' error. (see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9901097/7228779 )

    It also looks like you misspelled browserify (not broweserify) in your install command, so that might be an issue too.
