I'm refreshing my old and low knowledge on VanillaJS using the latest best practices i found.
I recently did a tutorial on NodeJS doing API REST with ExpressJs and one with Socket IO.
Now I want to practice a little before going to REACTJS.
So I started a little project
I do one without NodeJs - just JS into HTML view - using Objects.
I want to use modules from Npm. I want to try Fakerjs but when i want to import it i have a 403.
The path is correct, no error.
So i'm wondering if it's possible without Nodejs to import modules when doing VanillaJs?
Am i doing it wrong ?
The structure of the project is :
js/
main.js
class/
node_modules/
index.html
Main.js:
'use strict'
//Importation of modules
import faker from '../node_modules/faker'
//Importation of Class Folder
import { Crypto } from "./class/crypto.class.js";
console.log(faker);
faker.locale = 'en_US';
I have this error in console:
GET http://crypto-market-js.local:8282/node_modules/faker/ net::ERR_ABORTED 403 (Forbidden)
If i write : import faker from 'faker' (like with node js but it's a require instead) i have this : Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "faker". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../".
If you could give me a hand on that plz :)
Trying to import with require is not supported without NodeJS, because require is a node-specific function. When trying to import modules into Vanilla JS, my recommendation is to first link to ths script with the <script> html tag, and then add another script with import faker from 'faker'
Hope that clarifies your issue.

I'm trying to deploy an Api Rest that was build on NodeJS Express and when I try to make the deploy process, I got this error. I don't know hoy can I solve this:
The problem is that you are importing some modules in your app.js with the import function, but you can't do that because you are stating in your config to treat your js files as module, to import external modules inside ES modules you should use the following structure:
"import { something } from /path/to/module"
Let me know if it solved your problem!
I am trying out Laravel 9 with Vite, but without(!) a frontend framework (like Vue or React).
I am trying to make a reusable js module that I could use/load in different Blade templates.
So I created a file 'menu-btn-toggle.js' in 'resources/js/components/utilities'.
export class MenuBtnToggle
{
constructor() {
console.log('MenuBtnToggle');
}
}
I then created a 'utilities.js' file in 'resources/js/components'.
import './utilities/menu-btn-toggle';
I then updated the 'app.js' file in 'resources/js'
import './bootstrap';
import './components/utilities';
import Alpine from 'alpinejs';
window.Alpine = Alpine;
Alpine.start();
So far, this seems to be working (?). Atleast, i think so. Vite is not giving me any errors so far (yay!)
But then I try to import the module in a blade template, but I can't get it to work.
So at the bottom of my blade template, I added this:
<script type="module">
import MenuBtnToggle from 'menu-btn-toggle';
new MenuBtnToggle();
</script>
But this gives me the following error:
Uncaught TypeError: Error resolving module specifier “menu-btn-toggle”. Relative module specifiers must start with “./”, “../” or “/”.
But when I add one of the examples, the error changes to:
Loading module from “[local_dev_url]/menu-btn-toggle” was blocked because of a disallowed MIME type (“text/html”).
as it isn't be able to find the module. It returns a 404.
Is it even possible do to want I want without a frontend framework? Or am I not seeing something obvious? I have experience with php, unfortunately not (enough) with Laravel and Vite.
I was stuck into almost same situation where we are not able to use import statement inside our blade files using Vite. We commonly get
Uncaught TypeError: Error resolving module specifier
“menu-btn-toggle”. Relative module specifiers must start with “./”,
“../” or “/”.
or We get 404 Blocked error nearly same as
Loading module from “[local_dev_url]/menu-btn-toggle” was blocked
because of a disallowed MIME type (“text/html”).
When importing external npm packages or modules, we need to put them in windows object just like you did above for Alpine
window.Alpine = Alpine;
But for your specific case problem you must do following
1)Inside menu-btn-toggle.js
export class MenuBtnToggle
{
constructor() {
console.log('MenuBtnToggle');
}
}
2)Inside utilities.js
import {MenuBtnToggle} from "./utilities/menu-btn-toggle";
window.MenuBtnToggle = MenuBtnToggle;
And then finally inside your app.js
import './components/utilities';
Now inside your .blade file, there is no need to import the MenuBtnToggle
instead just do it like
new MenuBtnToggle();
No need to use import MenuBtnToggle from 'menu-btn-toggle'; in blade.
Important thing is to import your app.js file properly inside .blade file through vite
#vite(['resources/css/app.css','resources/js/app.js'])
And it works. It has worked when reproducing same files/setup as yours.
This import of a folder (#terra-money/terra.js/)
import {LCDClient, Coin} from "#terra-money/terra.js"
works without problems when running the file with node.js
But when I want to use the same expression in a web app I get the error message
"Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "#terra-money/terra.js". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../"."
... so the problem seems to be that the import does not point to a single .js-file, right? Is there a way to make this work?
I'm fairly new to stack overflow, so if I don't ask the question correctly feel free to help me out.
I've scoured every stack overflow and google article I can find and nothing works to import Electron, any other Node modules, or any native JS modules--I can only import and use Angular/typescript modules. I'm trying to import electron and use it in an angular app. I am also trying to use __dirname. For electron I've tried:
const { remote } = require('electron');
const { remote } = (<any>window)require('electron');
import { ipcRenderer, BrowserWindow, electron } from 'electron';
import * as remote from '#electron/remote'
For __dirname I've tried:
import * as fs from 'fs';
import { readFileSync } from 'fs';
import readFileSync from 'fs';
and for the implementation:
import.meta.url
process.cwd()
__dirname //worth a shot I guess
I've combined these options, and nothing works. I've run npm install --save-dev #types/node, and when that didn't work tried deleting the node_modules folder and ran npm install. "types": ["node"] has already been added to tsconfig.json's compilerOptions.
Here is one of my errors:
Error: src/app/electron/electron.service.ts:3:20 - error TS2591: Cannot find name 'require'. Do you need to install type definitions for node? Try `npm i --save-dev #types/node` and then add `node` to the types field in your tsconfig.
3 const { remote } = require('electron');
~~~~~~~
I've already installed #types/node. It also almost always posts the following error. I have no clue what it's for, as it shows even when I'm not importing 'fs'.
Error: ./node_modules/electron/index.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'fs' in '/Users/user/Programming/Git/project/node_modules/electron'

Parsed request is a module

Your browser cannot run modules written in C++ like fs and electron. Node.js can do it because node developers specifically created node to be able to load binary modules (written in C++). Browsers can only run javascript modules.
As such builders such as Webpack ignore these modules simply because it does not make sense to include them.
You cannot use fs and electron in your Angular app. You can however use Angular in your electron app (because electron was created to run javascript code and Angular compiles to pure javascript code).
Trying to use fs or electron in Angular is a little bit like trying to import Internet Explorer or Adobe Photoshop in Angular.
I'm trying to use strophe.js with relay-starter-kit. I checked out relay-starter-kit, added "strophe": "^1.2.2" to package.json and ran npm install.
I can't find how to import strophe without getting errors. If I just try import Strophe from 'strophe'; I get errors that webpack can't resolve strophe-polyfill. I added a resolve alias for that pointing to the main strophe.js file, but that hasn't helped (I just get a console message Uncaught ReferenceError: Strophe is not defined).
It looks like strophe has some weird module system (it mentions AMD in github but I thought that meant I could just require it, but apparently not). All the examples I've seen import it in an HTML file and clutter the global namespace. I need to use it from within react so I don't think that will work.
How can I import strophe to use in my es6 files?
Since I wasted hours of my life on this, here's the answer:
Include strophe in the HTML file with:
Edit server.js to make webpack expose strophe as a static path with:
app.use('/node_modules/strophe', express.static('node_modules/strophe'));
In the react component, there's no need to import strophe since it's now globally available. Instead just connect with, e.g.:
var connection = new Strophe.Connection("ws://" + server + ":5280/websocket/");
try to use import * as XMPP from strophe.js then call
var connection = new XMPP.Strophe.Connection(BOSH_SERVICE) to connect server
