So this is my problem:
import * as fs from 'fs';
var downloads = 0;
const fs = require('fs')
fs.readFile('tp.txt', (err, inputD) => {
if (err) throw err;
downloads = inputD.toString();
})
setInterval(function (){
fs.readFile('tp.txt', (err, inputD) => {
if (err) throw err;
downloads = inputD.toString();
})
document.getElementById("downloads").innerText = downloads;
}, 5000)
But I get Uncaught SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module error
I was trying to read from a file but I couldn't!
I searched everywhere but I can't find my soulution.
Since you are writing CommonJS (CJS), you can just remove the import * as fs from 'fs';
line (that is ESM syntax). The only line you need to import fs
is this one: const fs = require('fs')
, which you already have.
If you want to use import
-style syntax (ESM), add "type": "module",
to your package.json
and remove the const fs = require('fs')
line instead.
