How to use ES6 modules from dev tools console

Question

As far as I understand it, if I create an ES6 module, I can only import it from code that is itself a module. This means non-module code, i.e. inline Javascript, or the Chrome dev tools console can never access code that is in a module.

Is that true? Is there any way around this because it seems like a fairly extreme limitation.

You can use dynamic import within Chrome's console.

import('path/to/module.js').then(m => module = m)  // [doSomething] is an exported function from [module.js]. module.doSomething()
