SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module node js

  1. Open the Node.js file where the error is occurring.
  2. Locate an import statement within the file.
  3. Understand that the import statement is used to bring in functionalities from other modules or files.
  4. Realize that Node.js doesn't directly support ES6-style import statements in CommonJS modules.
  5. Change the import statement to use require() instead, which is the traditional way to import modules in Node.js.
  6. Modify the syntax from import moduleName from 'modulePath'; to const moduleName = require('modulePath');.
  7. Ensure that the path to the module is accurate and the module being imported exists.
  8. Save the file and run it again to verify that the error is resolved.
