How can I translate var exec = require('child_process').exec;
to ES6? I know the following: import exec from 'child_process';
What I don't know is how to add the .exec at the end to the ES6 syntax.

You do:
import { exec } from 'child_process';
I know the following: import exec from 'child_process';
That's actually wrong, it is as I've done above. More on import here.
Otherwise, is simply:
import child_process from 'child_process';
const exec = child_process.exec;
You CANNOT do anything like:
import exec from 'child_process'.exec;

The curly bracket format in
import statements is not destructuring, calling it that is misleading. It is its own entirely separate syntax, since you do { exec as myExec }, not { exec: myExec }.Daniel Conde Marin
@loganfsmyth: I've updated my answer with the correction
import { exec } from 'child_process'
