The error “Uncaught SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module” typically occurs when you try to use an import statement outside of a module in ECMAScript 6. Here are the step-by-step details to resolve this issue:

Ensure that you are using the latest version of ECMAScript 6. You can check your ECMAScript version by running the following command in the Command Prompt or Terminal:
