Transpiled webpack bundle does not export hyphenated package name via require

I am importing fluent-ffmpeg with: import ffmpeg from 'fluent-ffmpeg' in one file.

After running webpack, I receive this error: Uncaught Exception: ReferenceError: fluent is not defined

I looked inside the transpiled file and I found fluent-ffmpeg included like so: function(e,t){e.exports=fluent-ffmpeg}

After changing the line to read: function(e,t){e.exports=require("fluent-ffmpeg")} the programs work.

Is there a way to configure webpack to correctly require fluent-ffmpeg when transpiling?

Edit: I am using this electron react webpack boilerplate to build a desktop application - https://github.com/chentsulin/electron-react-boilerplate

Update: I've created a repo to show the bug - https://github.com/the4dpatrick/congenial-barnacle. The difference between electron-react-boilerplate and this repo can be seen in a single commit

Solution

I was able to solve the issue by simply setting the output.libraryTarget setting within webpack.config.electron.js file to commonjs2.

output: {
    path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist'),
    filename: 'bundle.js',
    libraryTarget: 'commonjs2'
  },
