Trying to use 'import' and 'export' es6 using sprockets-es6 in Rails 4

Question

I'm trying to use 'import' and 'export' keywords of es6 as explained on babeljs getting started using the sprockets-es6 gem in Rails 4.

Can someone give an example of how to use it ? I'm getting error saying 'import' should be present on top.

Answer 1

It will be easier to help if you could provide your code snippet and the stack trace of the error you are getting.

However based on the information you have provided, I am guessing you are not using import statement at top level, which the ES2015 Spec mandates.

The chapter on ES6 modules from the book exploring ES6 is the best resource I can recommend you at this point.
