Module parse failed: Unexpected token

[nibor98]

I have tried to use @libsql/client together with drizzle inside some new projects of mine, however I always get the following error, whatever I try.

Module parse failed: Unexpected token (1:4)

At first I though the problem was using bun, but this also happens every time with npm and pnpm.

Rest of my project setup:

• Next.js 13.5 / 14.0.1
• bun 1.0.5
• @libsql/client 0.3.6 (also tried 0.3.7-pre.2 to no success)

Usage of @libsql/client:

import { createClient } from "@libsql/client";
import { drizzle } from "drizzle-orm/libsql";

const connection = createClient({
  url: process.env.DATABASE_URL || "",
  authToken: process.env.DATABASE_AUTH_TOKEN,
});

Thank you!

It seems like I encountered the same error message because I accidentally called libsql from a client component. It might be helpful to double-check that. Additionally, this error message was observed when using Next.js version < 13.5.5. In such cases, you need to modify the Next.js config. You can find more information on how to do this here: https://github.com/libsql/libsql-client-ts#using-the-library-with-nextjs .
