VueJS: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token import - vue.js

Question

thanks for reading this. I am building a web app using vuejs and flask as server. Do you guys have any recommendation for why it does not recognize "import"? im trying to use this.$http.get . why it is not recognizing it? thanks in advance
import Vue from 'vue'
import VueResource from 'vue-resource'
Vue.component( 'button-labels', {
props : ['labelbtn'],
template : `<div class="button-container"><button class="button-app" v-for="label in labelbtn" v-on:click="clickHandler(label)" >{{label.label}}</button></div>`,
methods : {
clickHandler : function(label) {
if (label.id === 1)
{
this.$emit('event_child', 'search-template')
}
},
}
})
Vue.component( 'search-template', {
props: ['searchdata'],
data : {
entries : []
},
template : `<div><input class="searchBar"><div class="response-list"><button class="entries"></button></div>
<audio class="audio" controls></audio><button class="button-back" v-on:click="backHandler"> Return</button></div>` ,
methods : {
backHandler : function(){
this.$emit('event_child', 'button-labels');
},
},
created : function(){
this.$http.get('https://google.com', (data) => {
console.log( data );
})
.error((err) => console.log(err))
},
})
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data : {
labels : [
{ id : 1, label : "Search" } , { id : 2, label: "Categories" }, { id : 3, label: "Favorites" }, {id : 4, label: "Settings"}
],
currentView : "button-labels",
},
methods : {
eventChild : function(label)
{
this.currentView = label;
}
}
})
