Simple question, I'm trying to use electron and I need to get the remote object on the client.
Doing
const {BrowserWindow} = require('electron').remote; // Works
But
import {BrowserWindow} from 'electron/remote' // Does not work
New to ES6 classes just unsure why this is not working. Thanks.

The basic definition of an object in JavaScript is a container for named values called properties (keys). Sometimes, we need to create an object inside another object. In this case, it's called a nested object.
Introduction to ES6 import:The import statement is used to import modules that are exported by some other module. A module is a file that contains a piece of reusable code. The import modules are in strict mode whether it is declared or not.
Modules are the piece or chunk of a JavaScript code written in a file. JavaScript modules help us to modularize the code simply by partitioning the entire code into modules that can be imported from anywhere. Modules make it easy to maintain the code, debug the code, and reuse the piece of code.
The ES6 module standard has two parts: Declarative syntax (for importing and exporting) Programmatic loader API: to configure how modules are loaded and to conditionally load modules.
You can only import from modules. electron/remote is not a module, but remote is part of the module electron, so you can write :
import remote from "electron";
And then you can do :
const {BrowserWindow} = remote;
But your first code works fine ! You can read more on import statement here
Hope this helps
