Import statements won't work

[mgoldwater-nisum-com]

My package.json

"jest": { "resolver": "jest-webpack-resolver", "transform": { "^.+\\.jsx?$": "babel-jest" } }

My test script is just "test": "jest"

My error message comes from my webpack config and states: import path from 'path'; SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

ES modules are not supported in Node and as expected I did not provide any solution for parsing this module types.
I think you should prefer commonjs modules in webpack configuration.

It's not a huge deal, but I prefer to use import statements everywhere to keep my code more consistent and do less context switching. What's your reasoning for preferring commonjs modules in Webpack configs?

Also, I presume plenty of people are using import statements through Babel and std/esm could become popular.
