How could I import jQuery from npm package using ES6 only?

Question

I installed jQuery with npm -install jquery and it created a node_modules folder in my project with jquery in it. But when I try to import it using ES6 import it gives me an error.

I don't want to use Webpack or require() and have to compile it... anything else just plain vanilla ES6.

I'm always gettting this error

Uncaught SyntaxError: The requested module './node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js' does not provide an export named '$'

or

Uncaught SyntaxError: The requested module './node_modules/jquery/src/jquery.js' does not provide an export named '$'

window.$ = $;

$('body').css('background-color', 'red')

Try npm install jquery and then import $ from "jquery".
