"module" entry points to web bundle

[KrysKruk]

What happened?

I'm bundling my node.js code with webpack for serverless.
With bundled @octokit/webhooks-methods, my code doesn't run and throws an error: Exception: ReferenceError: crypto is not defined.

What did you expect to happen?

Code generated by webpack to run.

What the problem might be

@octokit/webhooks-methods defines these entries in package.json:

  "main": "dist-node/index.js",
  "module": "dist-web/index.js",
  "source": "dist-src/index.js",
  "types": "dist-types/index.d.ts",

Webpack favours module (see webpack/webpack#5756 ) because it helps with e.g. better tree shaking, but the module entry here points to the dist-web/index.js file which doesn't include crypto and buffer imports.

IMO the module entry should be renamed to browser.

I am also running into this issue.

I just manually changed the module key in the package.json file to browser before packing up my serverless code as a test, and my code all worked as expected.

After changing browser back to the incorrect module see package.json standard and webpack docs...

I added a rule to the module key in my webpack configuration that specifies the correct mainField

{
  test: /node_modules\/@octokit\/webhooks(-methods)?/,
  resolve: {
    mainFields: ['main']
  }
}

I suspect if this bug is ever completed, this may have to change, but for now... this is working for me in case anyone else finds this thread.

Unfortunately this isn't a problem we can fix ourselves. This would be a problem with the build system, which is not maintained anymore.

This will get fixed once we switch to using pure ESM + seperate types

[wolfy1339]

We are starting to migrate away from Pika, and towards using esbuild to generate the different bundles, and tsc to generate the types.

We will be able to get this addressed in a new major version

#159 Should help get this sorted out

In the meantime, you can always load the package from a CDN:

import { sign, verify } from "https://esm.sh/@octokit/webhooks-methods@3.0.2";
