Error loading THREE libs for vanilla app created using 'create-react-app'

[ollyhaydenspotify]

Describe the bug

If you create a brand new React app using 'create-react-app' and try and use Reagraph, you get the following error in browser console:

camera-controls.module.js:922 Uncaught TypeError: THREE.Vector3 is not a constructor
    at CameraControls.install (camera-controls.module.js:922:1)
    at index.js:934:1
    at index.js:2:1
    at ./node_modules/reagraph/dist/index.js (index.js:5:1)
    at options.factory (react refresh:6:1)
    at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap:24:1)
    at fn (hot module replacement:62:1)
    at ./src/App.tsx (bundle.js:18:66)
    at options.factory (react refresh:6:1)
    at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap:24:1)

It seems as if the camera-controls doesn't have a loaded Three library and THREE.Vector3 etc is undefined.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

1. Follow steps to create a react app using https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app. Command I used was: npx create-react-app graph-test --template typescript
2. Install Reagraph npm i reagraph --save
3. Copy over basic example of Reagraph to App.tsx. Here is my App.tsx:

import React from 'react';
import './App.css';
import {GraphCanvas} from "reagraph";

function App() {
  return (
    <GraphCanvas
      nodes={[
        {
          id: '1',
          label: '1'
        },
        {
          id: '2',
          label: '2'
        }
      ]}
      edges={[
        {
          id: '1->2',
          source: 'n-1',
          target: 'n-2',
          label: 'Edge 1-2'
        }
      ]}
    />
  );
}

export default App;

4. Run the app using npm start (or yarn start)

Expected behavior

As a user I would expect to see the example Reagraph graph but I get an error in the browser dev console and no graph

Does this happen on Chrome?

Does this happen on Chrome?

Yes happens on Chrome on Windows. Also tested Chrome on MacOS and same

OK - might be related to ESM - will need to look more. I switched to Vite instead of CRA so haven't ran into this issue on my projects.

[remusris]

I'm also running into the same problem

[JungleMind]

Hey, I'm also running into the same issue, did anyone find a solution ?

This is happening to me too.

Same here, and trying with next.js instead of CRA, I get

Error: Must use import to load ES Module: /mnt/c/next-react-graph/node_modules/d3-force-3d/src/index.js require() of ES modules is not supported.

Does anyone know a way to get Reagraph working? (Hopefully without Vite!) Update: Works with Neutrino!

[amcdnl]

@wnybomTNA - There is a PR that has some fixes but it has some caveats. We are working on this though - that said I'm surprised storybook works ( since its webpack like CRA ).

[amcdnl]

we fixed this in one of our other libraries, just need to apply same here -

Hi I am also experiencing this issue as described in the original post, using create react app. Is there still a fix in the works?

Working with the following reagraph - 4.7.0 react - 18.2.0 node - 18.11.0 Mac OS Chrome

Was earlier working on vite then switched to cra now getting this error.

[zimm1]

Is there any update on this issue?

[baolongt]

I changed to Vite and it seems good for me. No more bug

[amcdnl]

Can someone retest if this is still an issue?
