Vite: Cannot use import statement outside a module - node.js

I know little about bundler and I'm using vite to build project, I got a error when import some package to configure dev server :
SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module
So here is the thing:
import pinyin from 'pinyin/esm/pinyin-web.js'
export const somePlugin = {
name: 'someplugin',
configureServer(server) {
server.middlewares.use('/somepath', (req, res, next) => {
const foo = pinyin('foo')
next()
})
},
}
I don't use the normal way(import pinyin from 'pinyin') , because that need a package nodejieba which need to install unnecessary node-gyp, so I choose the web version that don't need nodejieba.
I've searched the error, some says add "type": "module" to package.json file. but it already exist in my package.json.
however, I make the change:
// import pinyin from 'pinyin/esm/pinyin-web.js'
import pinyin from 'pinyin/lib/pinyin-web.js'
and problem get solved,I was confused because I thought vite prefer ES module.
So,
1> what cause the problem above?
2> why should I import file with extensions ? eg: import pinyin from 'pinyin/lib/pinyin-web.js'
I have to add extensions .js or it will cause error. while in vite.config.ts I needn't add extensions.
3> I tried to add field optimizeDeps in vite.config.ts like this
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [vue(), somePlugin],
optimizeDeps: {
include: ['pinyin'],
},
})
but it seems to be useless, the offical doc says:
"During development, Vite's dev serves all code as native ESM. Therefore, Vite must convert dependencies that are shipped as CommonJS or UMD into ESM first."
did that work for the frontend part and package "pinyin" is for the dev server so whether add the
field optimizeDeps there is no difference.

"Cannot use import statement outside a module" with Axios

I have a Vue.js application where two files contain:
import axios from "axios"
These files are located in src/lib within the application and include the import statement on their first line.
Running tests on Github causes Axios 1.0.0 to be installed, no matter what the package.json says, and now any test involving these files fails with the above error.
Changing the statement to const axios = require("axios") fails also; node_modules/axios/index.js contains an import statement on line 1 and the exception is thrown there.
A suggestion I've seen quite often for such issues is to add "type": "module" to package.json (which is at the same level as src/). This causes all tests to fail with a demand to rename vue.config.js as vue.config.cjs. Doing that gets me: Error: You appear to be using a native ECMAScript module configuration file, which is only supported when running Babel asynchronously, which I do not understand.
Can anyone suggest what to do here?
I was able to fix this error by forcing jest to import the commonjs axios build by adding
"jest": {
"moduleNameMapper": {
"axios": "axios/dist/node/axios.cjs"
}
},
to my package.json. Other solutions using transformIgnorePatterns didn't work for me.
The 1.x.x version of axios changed the module type from CommonJS to ECMAScript.
The 0.x.x version of axios index.js file
module.exports = require('./lib/axios');
The 1.x.x version of axiox index.js file
import axios from './lib/axios.js';
export default axios;
Basically, jest runs on Node.js environment, so it uses modules following the CommonJS.
If you want to use axios up to 1.x.x, you have to transpile the JavaScript module from ECMAScript type to CommonJS type.
Jest ignores /node_modules/ directory to transform basically.
https://jestjs.io/docs/27.x/configuration#transformignorepatterns-arraystring
So you have to override transformIgnorePatterns option.
There are two ways to override transformIgnorePatterns option.
jest.config.js
If your vue project uses jest.config.js file, you add this option.
module.exports = {
preset: "#vue/cli-plugin-unit-jest",
transformIgnorePatterns: ["node_modules/(?!axios)"],
...other options
};
package.json
If your vue project uses package.json file for jest, you add this option.
{
...other options
"jest": {
"preset": "#vue/cli-plugin-unit-jest",
"transformIgnorePatterns": ["node_modules\/(?!axios)"]
}
}
This regex can help you to transform axios module and ignore others under node_modules directory.
https://regexper.com/#node_modules%5C%2F%28%3F!axios%29
Updating the version of jest to v29 fixed this in my project. It could be the case that you have an incompatible jest version.
I had the same issues and was able to solve this by using jest-mock-axios library
I experience similar problem but the error is caused by jest.
All the tests trying to import axios fail and throw the same exception:
Test suite failed to run
Jest encountered an unexpected token
This usually means that you are trying to import a file which Jest cannot parse, e.g. it's not plain JavaScript.
By default, if Jest sees a Babel config, it will use that to transform your files, ignoring "node_modules".
Here's what you can do:
• If you are trying to use ECMAScript Modules, see https://jestjs.io/docs/en/ecmascript-modules for how to enable it.
• To have some of your "node_modules" files transformed, you can specify a custom "transformIgnorePatterns" in your config.
• If you need a custom transformation specify a "transform" option in your config.
• If you simply want to mock your non-JS modules (e.g. binary assets) you can stub them out with the "moduleNameMapper" config option.
You'll find more details and examples of these config options in the docs:
https://jestjs.io/docs/en/configuration.html
Details:
/monorepo/node_modules/axios/index.js:1
({"Object.<anonymous>":function(module,exports,require,__dirname,__filename,global,jest){import axios from './lib/axios.js';
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module
1 | import { describe, expect, it } from '#jest/globals'
> 2 | import axios from 'axios'
The solution is simply tell jest that axios should be transformed with babel:
const esModules = ['lodash-es', 'axios'].join('|')
# add these entries in module.exports
transform: {
[`^(${esModules}).+\\.js$`]: 'babel-jest',
},
transformIgnorePatterns: [`node_modules/(?!(${esModules}))`],
Note: I'm using Quasar Vue and this is their implementation.
Quick fix
Update the npm run test script from
"test": "react-scripts test",
to
"test": "react-scripts test --transformIgnorePatterns \"node_modules/(?!axios)/\"",
In my case I had to add the following line to the moduleNameMapper object in the jest config:
axios: '<rootDir>/node_modules/axios/dist/node/axios.cjs',
I had the same issue, it works fine when changing axios to fetch.
axios (Fail)
try {
const response = await axios("api/fruit/all");
return response.data;
} catch (error) {
return error;
}
Fetch (Works fine)
try {
const response = await fetch("api/fruit/all",{method:"GET"});
const data = await response.json();
return data;
} catch (error) {
return error;
}

Next.js: Jest fails to process a file inside `node_modules`, giving error `Cannot use import statement outside a module`

I'm using Next.js, and I setup Jest using the official instructions. However, when I run a test for a component that uses the remark module, I get the following error:
Jest encountered an unexpected token
Jest failed to parse a file. This happens e.g. when your code or its dependencies use non-standard JavaScript syntax, or when Jest is not configured to support such syntax.
Out of the box Jest supports Babel, which will be used to transform your files into valid JS based on your Babel configuration.
By default "node_modules" folder is ignored by transformers.
Here's what you can do:
• If you are trying to use ECMAScript Modules, see https://jestjs.io/docs/ecmascript-modules for how to enable it.
• If you are trying to use TypeScript, see https://jestjs.io/docs/getting-started#using-typescript
• To have some of your "node_modules" files transformed, you can specify a custom "transformIgnorePatterns" in your config.
• If you need a custom transformation specify a "transform" option in your config.
• If you simply want to mock your non-JS modules (e.g. binary assets) you can stub them out with the "moduleNameMapper" config option.
You'll find more details and examples of these config options in the docs:
https://jestjs.io/docs/configuration

Anyone know how to solve this problem?
I also encountered the same error while setting up Jest in my React app created using Webpack. I had to add #babel/preset-env and it was fixed. I have also written a blog article about the same.

Cannot use import statement outside a module with #pusher/push-notifications-web nodejs - beams

I am trying to follow this tutorial using nodejs and express: https://pusher.com/docs/beams/reference/web/#npm-yarn
First I did: npm install #pusher/push-notifications-web before adding the code.
But when I add this code in the index.js file:
import * as PusherPushNotifications from "#pusher/push-notifications-web";
const beamsClient = new PusherPushNotifications.Client({
instanceId: "<YOUR_INSTANCE_ID_HERE>",
});
beamsClient.start().then(() => {
// Build something beatiful 🌈
});
I get this error:
SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module
It's also not very clear to me from the tutorial if the code has to be in the frontend or the backend. I tried both but got the same result.
How can I fix this problem?
The error is caused by the fact that you're trying to use ES module specific features in a regular CommonJS file (the default behavior in Node.js). However, what you're looking at is the Web SDK for Pusher which won't help you achieve your goals.
You need the server SDK for Node.js - https://pusher.com/docs/beams/reference/server-sdk-node/.
Verify that you have the latest version of Node.js installed and you have 2 ways of fixing that
Set "type" field with a value of "module" in package.json. This will ensure that all .js and .mjs files are interpreted as ES modules.
// package.json
{
"type": "module"
}
Use .mjs as file extension instead of .js.

How to import a node module inside an angular web worker?

I try to import a node module inside an Angular 8 web worker, but get an compile error 'Cannot find module'. Anyone know how to solve this?
I created a new worker inside my electron project with ng generate web-worker app, like described in the above mentioned ng documentation.
All works fine until i add some import like path or fs-extra e.g.:
/// <reference lib="webworker" />
import * as path from 'path';
addEventListener('message', ({ data }) => {
console.log(path.resolve('/'))
const response = `worker response to ${data}`;
postMessage(response);
});
This import works fine in any other ts component but inside the web worker i get a compile error with this message e.g.
Error: app/app.worker.ts:3:23 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'path'.
How can i fix this? Maybe i need some additional parameter in the generated tsconfig.worker.json?
To reproduce the error, run:
$ git clone https://github.com/hoefling/stackoverflow-57774039
$ cd stackoverflow-57774039
$ yarn build
Or check out the project's build log on Travis.
Note:
1) I only found this as a similar problem, but the answer handles only custom modules.
2) I tested the same import with a minimal electron seed which uses web workers and it worked, but this example uses plain java script without angular.
1. TypeScript error
As you've noticed the first error is a TypeScript error. Looking at the tsconfig.worker.json I've found that it sets types to an empty array:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"types": [],
// ...
}
// ...
}
Specifying types turns off the automatic inclusion of #types packages. Which is a problem in this case because path has its type definitions in #types/node.
So let's fix that by explicitly adding node to the types array:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"types": [
"node"
],
// ...
}
// ...
}
This fixes the TypeScript error, however trying to build again we're greeted with a very similar error. This time from Webpack directly.
2. Webpack error
ERROR in ./src/app/app.worker.ts (./node_modules/worker-plugin/dist/loader.js!./src/app/app.worker.ts)
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/worker-plugin/dist/loader.js):
ModuleNotFoundError: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'path' in './src/app'
To figure this one out we need to dig quite a lot deeper...
Why it works everywhere else
First it's important to understand why importing path works in all the other modules. Webpack has the concept of targets (web, node, etc). Webpack uses this target to decide which default options and plugins to use.
Ordinarily the target of a Angular application using #angular-devkit/build-angular:browser would be web. However in your case, the postinstall:electron script actually patches node_modules to change that:
postinstall.js (parts omitted for brevity)
const f_angular = 'node_modules/#angular-devkit/build-angular/src/angular-cli-files/models/webpack-configs/browser.js';
fs.readFile(f_angular, 'utf8', function (err, data) {
var result = data.replace(/target: "electron-renderer",/g, '');
var result = result.replace(/target: "web",/g, '');
var result = result.replace(/return \{/g, 'return {target: "electron-renderer",');
fs.writeFile(f_angular, result, 'utf8');
});
The target electron-renderer is treated by Webpack similarily to node. Especially interesting for us: It adds the NodeTargetPlugin by default.
What does that plugin do, you wonder? It adds all known built in Node.js modules as externals. When building the application, Webpack will not attempt to bundle externals. Instead they are resolved using require at runtime. This is what makes importing path work, even though it's not installed as a module known to Webpack.
Why it doesn't work for the worker
The worker is compiled separately using the WorkerPlugin. In their documentation they state:
By default, WorkerPlugin doesn't run any of your configured Webpack plugins when bundling worker code - this avoids running things like html-webpack-plugin twice. For cases where it's necessary to apply a plugin to Worker code, use the plugins option.
Looking at the usage of WorkerPlugin deep within #angular-devkit we see the following:
#angular-devkit/src/angular-cli-files/models/webpack-configs/worker.js (simplified)
new WorkerPlugin({
globalObject: false,
plugins: [
getTypescriptWorkerPlugin(wco, workerTsConfigPath)
],
})
As we can see it uses the plugins option, but only for a single plugin which is responsible for the TypeScript compilation. This way the default plugins, configured by Webpack, including NodeTargetPlugin get lost and are not used for the worker.
Solution
To fix this we have to modify the Webpack config. And to do that we'll use #angular-builders/custom-webpack. Go ahead and install that package.
Next, open angular.json and update projects > angular-electron > architect > build:
"build": {
"builder": "#angular-builders/custom-webpack:browser",
"options": {
"customWebpackConfig": {
"path": "./extra-webpack.config.js"
}
// existing options
}
}
Repeat the same for serve.
Now, create extra-webpack.config.js in the same directory as angular.json:
const WorkerPlugin = require('worker-plugin');
const NodeTargetPlugin = require('webpack/lib/node/NodeTargetPlugin');
module.exports = (config, options) => {
let workerPlugin = config.plugins.find(p => p instanceof WorkerPlugin);
if (workerPlugin) {
workerPlugin.options.plugins.push(new NodeTargetPlugin());
}
return config;
};
The file exports a function which will be called by #angular-builders/custom-webpack with the existing Webpack config object. We can then search all plugins for an instance of the WorkerPlugin and patch its options adding the NodeTargetPlugin.

New to React / Babelify; How to fix "Accessing PropTypes" warning

I'm new to both React and Babelify.
I'm using Node to compile a web app. Right now I'm doing this:
browserify({debug: true})
.transform(
babelify.configure({
comments : false,
presets : [
"react",
"babili",
],
})
)
.require('./app.js', {entry: true})
.plugin(collapse)
.bundle()
.on("error", function (err) {
console.log("Error:", err.message);
})
.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(destination));
My app is a VERY trivial "Hello, World!" proof-of-concept at the moment that's about this complex:
class Renderer {
render () {
ReactDOM.render(
<div>Hello, World!</div>
document.querySelector("#react-app")
);
}
}
module.exports = Renderer;
I'm getting this warning:
Warning: Accessing PropTypes via the main React package is deprecated, and
will be removed in React v16.0. Use the latest available v15.* prop-types
package from npm instead. For info on usage, compatibility, migration and more,
see https:/gfb.me/prop-types-docs
Warning: Accessing createClass via the main React package is deprecated,

A common cause of this error is the presence of a configuration options

I read the recommended stuff, but I'm new enough to both that I can't quite get a handle on it. I also read a bunch of other articles and SO posts, but none of them (that I could find) had this set (browserify, babelify, react).
My goal at the moment is just to get it transpiling with support for the React syntax (which is JSX, from what I understand?), so I can start playing with it and learning both libraries. What's the fastest way to get this implemented (I don't necessarily need most efficient or best; I'd rather have the easiest-to-understand incantation at this stage, so I can have things transparent while I learn).
It is not your setup issue but problem is with your import statements, i'm assuming you are importing react and PropTypes from react
import React, { PropTypes } from 'react';
So, using PropTypes from react library has been deprecated as mentioned in warning and you need to install PropTypes as a standalone library from npm and use that instead.
npm install prop-types --save and then do,
import PropTypes from 'prop-types', for more info https://www.npmjs.com/package/prop-types
this will resolve your first warning, also for second warning you need to install and use https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-react-class.
for the babel error please check if you have both required libraries installed.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-preset-react,
https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-preset-babili
Do you have an import of the form import * as React from 'react'?
If so, try replacing it with import React from 'react'.
The * imports everything from react, including the deprecated exports, and that's what triggers the warnings.
