How can we import `users` schema sequelize modal in server.js file in `ES6` way

Question

How can we import users schema modal in server.js file in ES6 way. Even though I have added type: module in package.json file it doesn't work, throws below error.

note: I am trying to import all of the other modules in ES6 way.

sequelize user.js

'use strict';
module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
    const users = sequelize.define('users', {
        id: {
            type: DataTypes.INTEGER(10),
            allowNull: false,
            primaryKey: true,
            autoIncrement: true
        },
        email: {
            type: DataTypes.STRING(100),
            allowNull: false
        },
        password: {
            type: DataTypes.STRING(100),
            allowNull: false
        }
    }, {
        timestamps: true,
        tableName: 'users'
    });

    return users;
};

and in the server.js

import usersSchema from "./modals/users.js";

Throws below error in console:

node:40244)

Warning: To load an ES module, set "type": "module" in the package.json or use the .mjs extension.
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

Try using

export default = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
  ...

Refer to this ES6 101 article which will help you adjust your code: ES6 In Depth: Modules

If you’d like your own ES6 module to have a default export, that’s easy to do. There’s nothing magic about a default export; it’s just like any other export, except it’s named "default". You can use the renaming syntax we already talked about:
```js
let myObject = {
  field1: value1,
  field2: value2
};
export {myObject as default};
```
Or better yet, use this shorthand:
export default {
  field1: value1,
  field2: value2
};

The error message indicates that the server.js file is not being recognized as an ES module. To fix this issue, you need to add "type": "module" in your package.json file.
