PRDV401: Introduction to JavaScript I

The static import declaration is used to import read-only live bindings which are exported by another module. The imported bindings are called live bindings because they are updated by the module that exported the binding, but cannot be modified by the importing module.

In order to use the import declaration in a source file, the file must be interpreted by the runtime as a module. In HTML, this is done by adding type="module" to the <script> tag. Modules are automatically interpreted in strict mode.

There is also a function-like dynamic import(), which does not require scripts of type="module".
