Answer 1

Node.js doesn't support ES6 modules by default. You would need to activate them with the --harmony or --harmony_modules flag. Default ist the CommonJS declaration (require/module.exports).

Modify your code to support the CommonJS syntax:

"use strict";

class Whatever {
    constructor() {
        console.log("I'm in the constructor!");
    }
}

module.exports = Whatever;
