Vite require is not defined

The error “vite require is not defined” is commonly encountered when using Vite, a build tool for modern web development. This error typically occurs when the “require” keyword is used in a JavaScript file within a Vite project.

Vite uses ES modules by default, which means the “require” keyword is not supported. Instead, you should use the ES6 import syntax to import modules. Here’s an example of how you can refactor your code to resolve this error:

    
      // Before
      const myModule = require('./myModule');
      
      // After
      import myModule from './myModule';
    
  

In the example above, we have replaced the “require” statement with the ES6 import statement. This tells Vite to load the module from the specified path.

Additionally, if you are trying to use a third-party library that uses the “require” keyword directly (not compatible with ES modules), you may need to find an alternative or polyfill that supports ES modules.

Overall, the key point to remember is to use the ES6 import syntax instead of the “require” keyword when working with Vite. This will help you resolve the “vite require is not defined” error and ensure compatibility with Vite’s ES module support.
