Issue with importing a node package in the Zendesk custom app

November 18, 2021 18:49

Hi All,

I have installed a node package which I am trying to use in a custom app.In this case let's say the package name is "test-package".When I try to run this locally it gives an error "Uncaught SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module"

Is there a different way to import these packages?

Thanks!

I have tried the below code too but no luck. Require is not recognized at all.

const MeechumUser = require('test-package');

Hey Sumitha Sudevan,

Thanks for reaching out! To start with, here's a couple things you can try:
- Add type="module" to your package.json file. Docs
- Try using the Browserify package which allows you to use the require method, client-side.
Let me know if you continue having issues after trying these two work arounds. If so, we can pull this into a ticket so I can look a bit more into your code.
