How to import nested objects in ES6

Simple question, I'm trying to use electron and I need to get the remote object on the client.

Doing 

const {BrowserWindow} = require('electron').remote; // Works

But

import {BrowserWindow} from 'electron/remote' // Does not work

New to ES6 classes just unsure why this is not working. Thanks.

You can only import from modules. electron/remote is not a module, but remote is part of the module electron, so you can write :

import remote from "electron";

And then you can do :

const {BrowserWindow} = remote;

But your first code works fine ! You can read more on import statement here

Hope this helps

I think you're supposed to use it like this:

import {remote} from 'electron'
// do something with remote.BrowserWindow
