: Cannot use import statement outside a module

This error message typically occurs when you try to use the import statement in a JavaScript file that is not being treated as a module. To fix this issue, you have a few options:

1. Ensure that your JavaScript file has the `.mjs` extension. This tells the JavaScript runtime that the file should be treated as a module. For example, if your file is named `script.js`, rename it to `script.mjs`.

2. If you are using Node.js, you can use the `--experimental-modules` flag when running your script to enable support for ES modules. For example, run `node --experimental-modules script.js`.

3. If you are working with a web browser, make sure that you have added the `type="module"` attribute to your `<script>` tag in the HTML file. This tells the browser to treat the script as a module. For example:

   <script type="module" src="script.js"></script>

By following one of these approaches, you should be able to use the import statement in your JavaScript file without encountering this error.
