I have an Electron project built with Vite, with MongoDB and Mongoose. However, I'm getting an error in my index.js
file if I import from from a local file/module.
This is my index.js
(entry point of Electron):
import { connect } from "./MongoDB";
The local file - MongoDB.js
:
module.exports = {
connect,}
The error I'm getting:
> electron-vite dev
vite v5.3.4 building SSR bundle for development...
✓ 3 modules transformed.
x Build failed in 66ms
ERROR src/main/index.js (5:9): "connect" is not exported by "src/main/MongoDB.js", imported by "src/main/index.js".
3: import { electronApp, optimizer, is } from "@electron-toolkit/utils";
4: import icon from "../../resources/icon.png?asset";
5: import { connect } from "./MongoDB";
^
6: // import mongoose from "mongoose";
These are the steps I took:
npm create @quick-start/electron@latest
MongoDB.js
in same folder as index.js
If I import mongoose directly in the index.js
, it works fine, but I want to use the local file.
How can I fix this please?
Apparently CJS and Es6 import are different so i fixed it by export { connect }
