ES6: Use * to import Everything from a File

Describe your problem and - if possible - how to reproduce it

there is still a problem with this exercise. the challenge states:

The code below requires the contents of a file, “capitalize_strings”, found in the same directory as it, imported. Add the appropriate import * statement to the top of the file, using the object provided.

which is fine, but it doesn’t give complete information to complete the challenge, I had to look in

ES6: Use * to Import Everything from a File - import name ambiguity #16356 to see what is ACTUALLY expected.

the code section has one line only: "use strict";

there is absolutely nothing in the body of the explanation or the challenge description telling us what is actually required in the code!

if you do what it asks by adding:

import * as myModule from "capitalize_strings";

it gives an error<?> when you run the code that is less than helpful:

uses import * as properly

nowhere in the description does it say to use the module or what is in the module

for example:

"use strict";
import * as myModule from "capitalize_strings";
myModule.capitalize("foo");
myModule.lowercase("Bar");

interestingly however, now that I’ve had a successful test it passes with only the import line added to the code. I tried to repeat the error in firefox, originally the test was done in chrome, but again it passes the test with only the import * as myModule from "capitalize_strings"; line

This test would not pass previously until the code above created a successful result.

Okay, for those facing problems with https://learn.freecodecamp.org/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/es6/use--to-import-everything-from-a-file/ Remember two important things: The syntax is:

import * as object_with_name_of_your_choice from "file_path_goes_here";

In the above, the Double Quotes (" ") and the Line ending semi-colon (;) is very important. Also, make sure that the file path is correct. It doesn’t matter what name your object is having.

I am not sure why this is happening and it shouldn’t happen.

I think I can work on this and open a PR if someone guides me where I have to edit the checks.

Here is what needs to change

Remove , using the object provided Allow single quotes around filename Allow no end semicolon

Updates to this challenge should also occur for https://learn.freecodecamp.org/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/es6/understand-the-differences-between-import-and-require and https://learn.freecodecamp.org/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/es6/import-a-default-export
