angular geohash unexpected token export

Question

i'm using geohash to convert lat lng to a geohash. Todo so i implemented the library geohash.js. Unfortunately angular is saying "unexpected token export, which is at the bottom of the latlon-geohash.js:

export default Geohash

here is how i implemented the lib: angular.json:

    "scripts": [
          "./node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js",
          "./node_modules/owl.carousel/dist/owl.carousel.js",
          "./node_modules/latlon-geohash/latlon-geohash.js"
        ]

and my component:

import Geohash from 'latlon-geohash';
