readme demo isnt working

[itzikorfa]

Hi
I'm trying to use the module on my neo4j project
but when I work by the guide I get errors about the module
the way I import it and.

is there a working demo that can I run?

the error I get are:

import Neode from 'neode'; ^^^^^ SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
TypeError: neode.model is not a function

It looks like you need to create an instance of neode. Can I see your full code please?

[itzikorfa]

the code I took from the article :
https://medium.com/neo4j/interacting-with-neo4j-in-nodejs-using-the-neode-object-mapper-3d99cb324546

my code is:
`import Neode from 'neode';

const instance = new Neode('bolt://localhost:7687', 'neo4j', '123456');

instance.model('Person', {
person_id: {
primary: true,
type: 'uuid',
// Creates an Exists Constraint in Enterprise mode
required: true,
},
payroll: {
type: 'number',
unique: 'true', // Creates a Unique Constraint
},
name: {
type: 'name',
indexed: true, // Creates an Index
},
age: 'number' // Simple schema definition of property : type
});
// Define Multiple Definitions
instance.with({
Movie: require('./models/Movie'),
Person: require('./models/Person')
});
// Load all definitions from a Directory
instance.withDirectory(__dirname+'/models');`

and the error I get is:

`(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import Neode from 'neode';
^^^^^

running on node ver 10.15.3
and I just install neode
"dependencies": { "neode": "^0.4.2" }

It looks like you're using ES6 syntax but your version of node doesn't support it. Try using commonjs:

const Neode = require('neode')

or use the babel cli/loaders to run the ES6 code.
