Hey there! import/export is not supported by node (yet!) - just replace it with the following line:

const {encode, decode} = require("deckstrings");

Closing as this should be solved.

In E-6 import work fine and my friend wright the es6 code perfectly so it should work it is the problem in typescript or node version

[Benedict Etzel]

@rajatprogrammer Indeed, it works in Node now, with the version v8.5.0 released on September 12th 2017. You'll see this issue is from July 2017 though, so at the time Node was not able to do ES6 modules. Typescript is not related to this issue.
