# AUR0162

## Error Message

`AUR0162: Expression error: unexpected keyword "import": "{{expression}}"`

## Description

This error occurs when the keyword `import` appears in a binding expression. Dynamic `import()` is not supported inside Aurelia binding expressions.

## Example Trigger

```html
<!-- ❌ import is not supported in binding expressions -->
<div textcontent.bind="import('x')"></div>
```

## Solution

Move module loading into view-model code, then bind to the result.

```ts
export class MyVm {
  value: unknown;

  async binding() {
    const mod = await import('./x');
    this.value = mod.value;
  }
}
```

## Troubleshooting

* Search templates for `import` usage inside bindings.
* Prefer normal JS/TS module imports at the top-level where possible.
