NodeJS/ExpressJS ES6 import class

Do you get SyntaxError: Unexpected token import when you try to use `import` keyword? : You are in the right place.

This is a minimal setup Node with Express importing ES6 class in a ES6 way using `import` keyword

index.js - Main file where we have imported express and defined the routes
services/MainService.js - ES6 Class with one method get() which handles the route /
app.js - Here happens the magic in-order to enable importing the ES6 Classes using import keyword

Use cases in this boilerplate/project

Instead of doing

var express = require("express");

We have used import keyword

import express from 'express';

Importing the MainService Class import MainService from './services/MainService'; from the index.js
