'Keep hitting an error when trying to use export/import in JavaScript using Atom
I'm trying to write an array in one .js that can be exported to another, but when I try to import it into the other.js Atom keeps throwing me back the following error:
/Users.../GitHub/my-first-advent-of-code-javascript-2020/github/day-01/input-data.js:1
export const myNumberInput = [1757,
^^^^^^SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export' at wrapSafe (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1018:16) at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1066:27) at Object.Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1131:10) at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:967:32) at Function.Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:807:14) at Module.require (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:991:19) at require (node:internal/modules/cjs/helpers:92:18) at [stdin]:3:18 at Script.runInThisContext (node:vm:133:18) at Object.runInThisContext (node:vm:310:38) [Finished in 0.451s]
The code to be exported is a basic number based array (it's longer than this but this is the format:
export const myNumberInput = [1757, 1890, 1750, 1440, 1822, 1957];
the import code is import {myNumberInput} from '/Users/.../GitHub/my-first-advent-of-code-javascript-2020/github/day-01/input-data.js';
I've looked online, but I don't understand why I'm getting this error, I've triple checked my syntax. Is this an Atom thing or an ES6 thing or a Node.JS problem (I hope not the latter, I really don't understand that yet)? I'm still learning and not great at problem solving yet. Thanks!
