JavaScript, can't seem to export modules?

Question

So I just started learning JavaScript. I am using plain JavaScript, and following the course on Code academy. Coming from C# I understood modules something like namespaces in C#. I am having trouble exporting, as well as importing them:

 let Module = {
 name: 'Hello'
};
export default Module;

This throws me an error - 'Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token export'

I also tried the ES5 synthax:

 let Module = {
 name: 'Hello'
};
module.exports = Module;

This throws me another error - 'Uncaught ReferenceError: module is not defined'. I am using the newest version of Chrome, and I do not why JavaScript does not recognise these commands. It is very frustrating and cannot wrap my head around it. Therefore, I would like to ask someone to please help me with this problem.

Answer 1

If you're using the newest version of Chrome, it does support ES2015+ modules. You need to ensure your script tag says it's a module:

<script type="module">
import name from './your-module-file.js';
console.log(name); // {name: "Hello"}
</script>

Then your first example will work.

But note that Module is not a module. It's an object you're exporting from a module.
