I am writing a simple program that uses a object full of dictionary words. I want to import that object from a different file as it is very large. When trying to import it I get an error that looks like Node.js doesn't know what it is.

I have already tried reinstalling the latest version of Node.js.

Here is the important code:

import {dict} from './words_dictionary'

And here is all of it:

import {dict} from './words_dictionary'





function exists(obj,str) {

  if(obj[str]) {

    return true

  } else {

    return false

  }

}

console.log(exists(dict, 'hello'))

Here is the gist of the dictionary code:

export let dict = {a: 1, aa: 1, aaa: 1, aah: 1, aahed: 1, aahing: 1, aahs:

1, aal: 1, aalii: 1, aaliis: 1, aals: 1, aam: 1, aani: 1, aardvark: 1,

aardvarks: 1,...~3000 more}

I expected true, but I got this error:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token {

ECMAScript 6 is now working, but I am now getting the error of dict not being defined. Could this have something to do with the file size, because I have checked multiple times for spelling errors?
