Can't using in Vite2

[Innei]

util is node built-in lib, but not in browser. And vite has no polyfill of node util.

this is config you should use

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'
import { NodeGlobalsPolyfillPlugin } from '@esbuild-plugins/node-globals-polyfill';

}
},
build: {

rollupNodePolyFill()

}
}
})
But with this it is working in dev but production build fails to parse JSON, any ideas?

@cxyb I found a way, copy util polyfill as file util.js in polyfills folder, and link it as a package in package.json, like below.

"dependencies": {
"util": "./polyfills/util.js"
// ....
}

[bluwy]

I found a fix like so:

# Shim util module
npm i -D util

Vite will auto pick this up without resolve.alias.

In index.html add:

<script>
  globalThis.global = globalThis;
  globalThis.process = { env: {} };
</script>

in body to shim global and process.env

There's 3 issues here:

1. util shim should not be needed. It's imported by @jsdevtools/ono but it has a browser field that should avoid it in the first place. Related issue: vite does not handle "browser" field in package.json properly, when using package 'tapable' vitejs/vite#7576
2. global is used by call-me-maybe dep
3. process.env is used by util (ironically)

1 and 3 is related and should be resolved when that issue is resolved.

I don't know what Vite is but if #275 hasn't helped please send pull requests.

@philsturgeon did you resolve problem with Vite configuration?
