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…
