Hi, thanks for reporting the issue. In the newer versions, JavaScript imports should be prefixed with js:, for example:

import "js:express"

This wasn't reflected in the documentation, will be in the docs when #227 is merged.

You can also check out the express example in the examples repo: https://github.com/clio-lang/examples/blob/master/express/src/main.clio
