Import error "cannot find module"

See original GitHub issue

Hi, when I try to import your module

import { scrollTo, scrollIntoView } from 'scroll-js';

I get the following error:

Cannot find module core-js/modules/es.object.to-string.js imported from ./node_modules/scroll-js/dist/scroll.common.js

I have no idea what this could mean… Any idea how I could get this to work? Thank you in advance.

PS: I am using Vite with SvelteKit if that‘s of any help

Hmm I’m not too familiar with how Vite resolves modules. But it looks like Vite is attempting to build scroll-js as a CommonJS module instead of ES module. scroll-js exposes multiple dist files that can be used, depending on how your project is set up.

See main and module fields here. If your project is an ES module, Vite should be resolving to the dist/scroll.js file in the module field instead of the dist/scroll.common.js file in the main field. (common.js extension just means it’s meant for a CommonJS project)

Does that help at all? If not, I can try to pull Vite down and import it to see if I can reproduce.

Thanks for filing issue! I’ll need a little more information if that’s okay: what’s your Node version? Is your project a CommonJS module or ES module?
