Error by importing the project

Hello,

I’m trying to use this exciting library. After installing the react-data-export package in my existing react application I get an error when I import the package by using import ReactExport from 'react-data-export';

I have the following error.

../framework/~/tempa-xlsx/xlsx.js
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'fs' in /home/ogodon/projects/framework/node_modules/tempa-xlsx
resolve module fs in /home/ogodon/projects/framework/node_modules/tempa-xlsx
  looking for modules in /home/ogodon/projects/company/node_modules
    /home/ogodon/projects/company/node_modules/fs doesn't exist (module as directory)
    resolve 'file' fs in /home/ogodon/projects/company/node_modules
      resolve file

Module fs cannot be found. So my question would be : is this package only meant to be used on a server context ?

Thank you for your time.

@xariaSg npm install xlsx --save solved it for me.

Hi @ogodon, you need to explicitly define fs in configuration file, for example, in case of webpack, add following lines to your webpack.config.js file,

.....
node: {fs: 'empty'},
externals: [
    {'./cptable': 'var cptable'},
    {'./jszip': 'jszip'}
 ]

Hope that will help.
