Import config.js file in another file

I am trying to create a config file in js for all my keys. The problem is that i am not able to export and export the file. Here is the code and the error:

config.js:

export const mailchimpKey ='KEY'

app.js:

//jshint esversion: 6
const config = require('./config');

I have the folowing error when starting my node server:

C:\Code\boootstrap\boootstrap\src\newsletter\config.js:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { export const mailchimpKey ='KEY'
                                                          ^^^^^^

I read somewhere that I need babel set up to use import/export. Is that true? I tried installing this but not sure I set it up well

Can you try this:

module.exports={
   mailchimpKey:'KEY'

}

Instead of your code in config.js
