Can't import jszmq into web browser
I want to try out jszmq in the browser, but am stumped at the fundamentals of getting it imported.
Server Live Server from VS Code
Browser Firefox for Ubuntu 101.0.1
Installation
npm install jszmq
version 0.1.2 gets installed
HTML code
<head>
...
<script type="module" src="./main.js"></script>
</head
main.js
import * as zmq from '../node_modules/jszmq/lib/src/index.js';
console.log(zmq);
expected outcome:
The module would import without any shimming or boilerplating. The zmq object would be logged to console.
actual outcome:
the below error is thrown to the console:
Uncaught ReferenceError: exports is not defined
<anonymous> http://127.0.0.1:5500/node_modules/jszmq/lib/src/index.js:2
index.js:2:1
Can somebody please advise if I am missing a trick here?
Hi @sphaero, yes that helps, thank you very much.
I think it would make sense to include those steps in the README, otherwise it's pretty hard to figure this out.
Hi, I follow the step to use browserify to convert the Javascript (with require("jszmq") to a bundled js. When I run the connect() method of Sub instance, I got an error at the line of the bundled js
new WebSocket(this.address, ['ZWS2.0']);
The error says: "WebSocket connection to 'ws://172.17.0.1:9802/' failed: "
However, the same URL can work with zeromq when I have a local js server running, in a separate project without using jszmq and browserify. Do I miss some obvious steps? Is there any information I can provide to help better illustrate the problem?
I think you'll need a better code snippet to explain the error. We can't tell what's going on from this.
