Difficulty resolving errors with imports in Javascript

Question

I am new to JavaScript and vscode and getting it set up has been more difficult than any other language I have used at work. When I run the code (in Test.js):

    var msg = 'here';
    console.log(msg);
    import { Machine, interpret } from 'xstate';

I get a error saying that I must use import to load ES module. I have looked at similar StackExchange threads to no avail despite attempting those fixes. Any help and readable resources are appreciated. Thanks.

Specific error debug printout:

Waiting for the debugger Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module:

Put the import line at the top.

That does not fix it, even absent the two other lines. – Chilly Feb 07 '20 at 21:19
Did you install xstate first? – F.NiX Feb 08 '20 at 06:12
