Version of NodeJs to execute #2

Closed enzolutions closed 6 years ago

Hi @kysely

I tried to create a nodejs file to run your example.

But looks like the Node version I'm using v8.9.0 is not compatible with ES6 or something like that.

I got the following error

(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import MongoBackup from 'mongodb-atlas-backup';
                                                              ^^^^^^

    at startup (bootstrap_node.js:187:16)
    at bootstrap_node.js:608:3

Any suggestions, about how to execute your example in command line using node?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @enzolutions import is a statement from ES6 module syntax that is not natively supported in Node.js yet. You can either use Babel to transpile your code or use the following import instead:

const MongoBackup = require('mongodb-atlas-backup');

Please let me know if that works for you.
