After using vite+vue3 to build the project and importing roslibjs, an error is reported

I use vue3, when I create a project with vite, I import the roslibjs library and get an error using one of the functions, as shown below. But when I try to use vuecli to create a project, after importing the same library, everything is fine. enter image description here

// vite created 'vite-app' project
npm init vite@latest
cd vite-app
npm instal --save roslib
// vuecli created 'vuecli-app' project
vue create vuecli-app
cd vuecli-app
npm install --save roslib

<script setup>
import ROSLIB from "roslib";
let ws_address = '127.0.0.1:9090'
let connected = false;
const ros = new ROSLIB.Ros({
    url: ws_address,
})
const connect = () => {
    ros.on("connection", () => {
        connected = true;
        console.log("Connected!");
    });
    ros.on("error", (error) => {
        console.log("Error connecting to websocket server: ", error);
    });
    ros.on("close", () => {
        connected = false;
        console.log("Connection to websocket server closed.");
    });
}
const disconnect = () => {
    ros.close();
}
</script>

<template>
    <div>
        <p class="text-success" v-if="connected">Connected!</p>
        <p class="text-danger" v-else>Not connected!</p>
  
        <input type="text" v-model="ws_address" />
        <br />
        <button @click="disconnect" class="btn btn-danger" v-if="connected">Disconnect!</button>
        <button @click="connect" class="btn btn-success" v-else>Connect!</button>
    </div>
</template>
Solution

  • I'm not sure what Vue CLI + Webpack does differently for roslib to work in the browser.

    However, in the browser, you should use the pre-built versions of roslib (where the Node-specific constructs are transpiled away) per the docs:

    If you use roslib in a browser, all the classes will be exported to a global variable called ROSLIB. If you use nodejs, this is the variable you get when you require('roslib')

    Import the roslib/build/roslib.js script, which sets window.ROSLIB:

    <script setup>
import 'roslib/build/roslib';

const ros = new window.ROSLIB.Ros({
  url: ws_address,
});
⋮
</script>
