Rollup.js can not detect default exports when trying to build component library with React.js

I am trying to create component library with React.js, I am using Rollup.js for this. When I am building the app, I see this error in the console. It seems Rollup can not detect default exports, I tried to add a .babelrc file configuration but unfortunately it did not work. What am I doing wrong and how can this problem be solved?

enter image description here

//rollup.config.js

import babel from 'rollup-plugin-babel';
import resolve from '@rollup/plugin-node-resolve';
import external from 'rollup-plugin-peer-deps-external';
import { terser } from 'rollup-plugin-terser';
import postcss from 'rollup-plugin-postcss';
import commonjs from '@rollup/plugin-commonjs';


export default [
    {
        input: './src/index.js',
        output: [
            {
                file: 'dist/index.js',
                format: 'cjs',
            },
            {
                file: 'dist/index.es.js',
                format: 'es',
                exports: 'named',
            }
        ],
        plugins: [
            postcss({
                plugins: [],
                minimize: true,
            }),
            babel({
                exclude: "node_modules/**",
                presets: ["@babel/preset-react"],
            }),
            external(),
            resolve(),
            terser(),
        ]
    }
];

Solution

  • The error is telling you what you need to know. To explain what that means, there is no export default ... in react-dom (you can verify this by looking at the source code).

    There are several ways to fix this:

    1. Play around with some of the @rollup/plugin-commonjs settings. Sorry I can't tell you which one will work, maybe start with defaultIsModuleExports.

    2. Import the method that you need. With react-dom, you're likely only using render, so import it like this: import { render } from 'react-dom'

    3. Import everything and alias as ReactDOM: import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
