Syntax Error

What This Error Means

A syntax error occurs when the JavaScript interpreter encounters a statement or expression that doesn't follow the language's syntax rules.

Why It Happens

This error happens when the JavaScript interpreter encounters an unexpected token, such as a reserved keyword or a syntax construct that is not allowed in the current context. In this case, the error occurs because the import statement is being used outside of a module (ES6+ code).

How to Fix It

1. 1To fix this error, you need to ensure that the import statement is being used within a module (ES6+ code). You can do this by adding a type declaration at the top of the script, like this:
2. 2// Before (broken code)
3. 3import { foo } from 'bar';
4. 4// After (fixed code)
5. 5/* @jsxRuntime classic */
6. 6/* @jsx import * as JSX from 'preact/jsx'; */
7. 7import { foo } from 'bar';

Example Code Solution

import { foo } from 'bar';

/* @jsxRuntime classic */
/* @jsx import * as JSX from 'preact/jsx'; */
import { foo } from 'bar';
