SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

[hokagedemehin]

Hello,

After installing the official tawk react package, I get this error SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module. please could you assist in resolving it?

File name where error occurs
file:///C:/Users/user/project/nextjs-project/node_modules/%20(tawk.to/tawk-messenger-react/src/index.js

• OS - windows
• Framework - Next.js

This is just a very thin wrapper over a loader. It's best to use something like React Script or https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/script instead

If it was a full reimplementation avoiding loading the script from tawk.to cdn that would another matter.
