When I try to write a server side script that includes the "import" command, such as:

import org.scribe.model.OAuthRequest;

I get the following error: "Unexpected reserved word ( @ 1 : 0 ) - import"

Is there some other way I should be writing this on this platform?

Thanks.

Hi Dan,

import directive not supported with v8 JS engine.

You can create your JS library and use it in the server script.

See details here: http://devcenter.appery.io/documentat...

The problem still when used in a library. I placed the import code into a library, run a script that uses it as a dependency, and it fails with the exact same error.

Hi Dan,

You don't need to use "import" directive...

So if your 3rd party code uses this directive you should alter this code.

Maybe I should qualify, I'm new to java programming, and app development in general. When you say alter the code, are you simply saying exclude it, or do I need to code it in a different way?

Hi Dan,

Unfortunatly you can not use this JS code in Appery.io server code without changes to fit it to V8 JS engine.

Ok, maybe I'm not understanding my options here. Will this simply not work? I'm trying to use some Yelp API code and if you're telling me I cant, I'll move on to another product.

Hi Dan,

Yes, you can not use this implementation in Appery.io server code.

May be it's better to use some REST API of this service?
