What is the right way to create instance of jsom while working with ES6?

See original GitHub issue

I use jsdom 13.2 and ES6. On npm page the following example is given:

const jsdom = require("jsdom");
const { JSDOM } = jsdom;
const dom = new JSDOM(`<!DOCTYPE html><p>Hello world</p>`);

When I changed this code to:

import { jsdom } from "jsdom";
const { JSDOM } = jsdom;
const dom = new JSDOM(`<!DOCTYPE html><p>Hello world</p>`);

I got error.

The only way I made it work is:

import { JSDOM } from 'jsdom';
const dom = new JSDOM(`<!DOCTYPE html><p>Hello world</p>`);

However, I didn’t find anyone used the same way. Is this a right way?

@domenic Besides, node.js developers already work at adding es6 modules and it is already possible to use it in experimental mode. So, again, this issue does make sense.

jsdom works with Node.js, which does not support that syntax. So this issue doesn’t make sense.

If you are using some nonstandard tool to work with jsdom, you need to file this help request on them.
