Can't import module

[JeroenDelcour]

Installing the module from npm and importing it gives the following error:

vm.js:94 Uncaught /node_modules/@windfish-studio/three-map-controls/src/three-map-controls.js:5
import {
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

Am I doing something wrong? I tried downgrading to 1.0.1 but it gave the same error.

In general the module is written in such a way that it rather depends on being used in a webpack project, in the sense that it only includes the ES6+ source, and doesn't include logic to precompile into CJS format for direct use (in a nodejs/electron project).

I can fix it so that this would happen automatically, but perhaps in the meantime this helps - all you need to do is configure your electron project in such a way that it uses babel to precompile this down to regular javascript (cjs)

Ah, I see. I'm still a little new to the whole JavaScript ecosystem, thanks for explaining. I'll look into that.
