Import module with React.AspNet (axios)

Question

I installed React.AspNet in my MVC core project and it works fine, except that it does not allow import statement in my .jsx file. Specifically, I've installed the axios library into my MVC project and would like to use it in the .jsx file.

Simplified version of my code:

import axios from "axios";

function MyComponent({ url }) {
    function getData() {
        axios.get(url);
    }
}

Error:

ScriptEngineException: SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

Without the import statement, I get an error that axios is not defined.

How can I get this to work?
