Error: Cannot find module '[…]/node_modules/sveltefire/dist/index.js'.

Heya, I'm getting the error mentioned in the title @0.1.4. Here's the full trace:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:337
      throw err;
      ^

Error: Cannot find module '[…]/node_modules/sveltefire/dist/index.js'. Please verify that the package.json has a valid "main" entry

Now I don't know much about JS packaging, but it really does seem like there's no dist/ directory in the NPM package.

I think this happens when you try to render the component on the server side, and browser-side bundling-driven module loading works.

I got rid of this error by being more careful with onMount.

im also getting that issue

Hi @underyx @Suyashtnt , I got the same issue and it looks disturbing to have a field in the package.json pointing to nothing. I think that this should be fixed. I am not sure what the opinion of this project's owner are on it, whether it is skipped on purpose or not.

In my case, because I am trying to stay close to the template (https://github.com/codediodeio/sveltefire-template), I moved the dependency declaration devDependencies so that Rollup uses the src instead of dist.

I don't fully understand why it is better, but it is a recommended approach in the Svelte ecosystem with Rollup: https://github.com/sveltejs/component-template#consuming-components

I'd love to get a pointer to a blog article or explanation for this practice (does it have to do with the Svelte compiler ? The SSR ?)
