Importing modules in JS

I got a problem that I struggle with for a long time and it's about importing modules to my main JS script.

I downloaded a lodash library via npm and I want to import it into my main script in order to use its functionalities. Here's the code:

import * as _ from './node_modules/lodash/lodash.js';

console.log(_.head([1,2,3]))

However, when I'm running the script I receive such an error:

!  ▶ Uncaught TypeError: _.head is not a function
        <anonymous> http://127.0.0.1:5500/playground.js:43
      [Więcej informacji]
>> _.head([1,2])
<- 1

As you can see, I cannot use _.head in the script, but I can use it from the console, which - I think - means that lodash was imported correctly.

What might be the cause of this problem? Also, I don't know if it's just me or is importing modules really such a painful thing to do? Maybe you can recommend some articles on this topic? Thank you for all the replies in advance

lodash npm import javascript

You don't need or probably want that path. If you've installed lodash via npm, yarn, or another package manager, use:

import _ from "lodash";

or possibly

import * as _ from "lodash";

depending on how lodash handles its exports.
