Bug: SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export' about i18n-js HOT 4 CLOSED

This is likely due to your vike project setup, not i18n-js. Can you please upload a sample project that raises this error?

from i18n-js.

@fnando Of course, it's a pleasure to do so. Here is the repository link: https://github.com/ricardopacheco/vike-18njs-debug

Use nodejs version 20.10.0 (I use Ubuntu 23.10 WSL2 Windows 11 with standard installation using asdf-nodejs);

Observation

Vike uses vitejs and node itself (SSR). I suspect it's the issue of the server with SSR, since I use vitejs in this same version in other SPA projects and i18n-js works perfectly. And coincidentally, I'm using the same version of nodejs (20.10.0) in these other SPA projects. So I believe it's either a configuration bug (some configuration is missing or I need to add something). would it be the path in nodejs?

@fnando Good News! I managed to fix the problem (running perfectly on both client and server). From what I understand... the server running nodejs doesn't understand ES6+ syntax and that's why it didn't work. That's right? I don't know that part well. https://github.com/ricardopacheco/vike-18njs-debug/pull/1/files

Afaict, node.js can only use import/export statements if you're files have the extension .mjs. Otherwise, you'd need to do some compiling into something that the regular VM can understand.
