      • rename node_helper.js to node_helper.mjs

      worked in my test (did not do anything with the imported axios, but mm starts).

          @sdetweil no :crying_face:

          may using esm library is one approach as described e.g. here https://blog.logrocket.com/how-to-use-ecmascript-modules-with-node-js/

                I can’t get it working.
                node 14.15 installed.

                When I require the “picnic-api” npm module the usual way I get the error message inside the "picnic-api module.

                import axios from "axios";
                ^^^^^^
                
                SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module
                

                When I do the import like described in the readme the error originates in my node_helper.js

                        import PicnicClient, { CountryCodes, ImageSizes, HttpMethods } from "picnic-api";
                        ^^^^^^
                
                SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module
                

                I’m lost. At least the environment of the picnic-api module should be a “pure node” environment, why does the import not work at least in that module?

                Changing the index.js inside picnic-api to an .mjs does not help.

                Any more ideas?

                  @lavolp3 i do not know. i consider myself a node rookie, and a typescript noobie.

                  because i am away from my systems i am unable to try different solutions… at least a few more weeks

                  if u try w

                  node serverOnly 
                  

                  does it make a difference?

                  there the node engine is running the code, vs the engine thru electron…
