Issue importing DirectUpload

I am trying to trigger a direct upload via Javascript in my Rails app.

I am putting this at the top of the script in my view:

import { DirectUpload } from "@rails/activestorage"

and get this error:

SyntaxError: import declarations may only appear at top level of a module

Can anyone tell me where I should put the import statement. I am using the asset pipeline.

If you want to import DirectUpload, you should to use webpacker. When using the asset pipeline, you need to //= require activestorage. DirectUpload will then be available via new ActiveStorage.DirectUpload().
