I have a problem when transfering my nodeJs api from my personal mac to my work mac. The error occur when I send the app to heroku server it is send succesfully but I get an error which is :
import express from 'express';
SyntaxError: Unexpected token import
I regularly make some local update and then send them to heroku server I do not get any error from my previous mac
the starting process is not the same
on my previous mac it was:npm start
and the new one is node server/index.js
I tried several things:
change procfile value from:web: node server/index.js to web: node server/app.js and web: npm start
I have put "heroku-postbuild": "npm run build" in my package.json
Before every export to heroku I do: heroku repo:purge_cache -a my-app
I also git commit using --allow-empty
to export my project I've used :
git push heroku master
heroku git:clone -a APP-NAME
and then : npm install
the version of npm is the same in both computer node v8.11.1 npm 5.6.0
heroku version for both too : heroku/7.19.4 darwin-x64 node-v11.3.0
none of this change has been successfull
note that I am looking for a solution to resolve it and do not want to use the old syntax like const express = require("express")
I solved it by installing esm it is very easy tool see the doc for more info
