import 'module' as mod not working

Question

I have a simple import statement:

import './dataMapper' as dataMap;

I am getting an error

Module build failed: SyntaxError: data.jsx: Unexpected token (1:22)

I can't seem to figure out why. If I just plain import without "as ...", it works.

According to at least this: http://www.sitepoint.com/understanding-es6-modules/

it is the correct syntax.

It's not the correct syntax ~~(and it's not on the page you linked either)~~. You'll want to have a look at http://www.2ality.com/2014/09/es6-modules-final.html for a good reference.

Your code should be

import dataMap from './dataMapper'; // to import the default

or

import * as dataMap from './dataMapper'; // to import the module object

This is separate, I know this syntax. I am not talking about importing a particular exported value, but the entire module and then accessing exported values as properties. It is there on the linked page. Ctrl+F this to find it "You can also import the entire module as an object" (sans quotes)

Are you looking for import * as dataMap from './dataMapper';?

@SiamJi: Oh, I must have skipped that. import 'utility' as utils; is rubbish.

@loganfsmyth I guess that's the correct syntax then!

@SiamJi: That's what I'm saying, yes.
