Uncaught SyntaxError with "await import(...)"

When I try to import a JS module dynamically using the code below, I get "Uncaught SyntaxError: unexpected reserved word" in both, Firefox and Chrome but According to MDN it should work.

let module = await import('/modules/my-module.js');

When I use .then() instead of await, everything works just fine. Is MDN wrong?

Solution

  • You should write "async" in this function declaration

     const my_func = async (arg1,arg2) => {
  let module = await import('/modules/my-module.js');
}
