Compatibility with ESM (webcomponents), using in pure js without React & NodeJS in context #50
Description
I am trying to use the @gravity-ui/graph library within a pure JavaScript environment, specifically with web components and without relying on React or NodeJS. I'm encountering challenges related to ESM compatibility.
Specific Use Case:
- Web component-based application
- No React framework
- No NodeJS backend (purely front-end)
- Using standard JavaScript modules (ESM)
Problem:
I am having trouble importing and utilizing @gravity-ui/graph within this setup. It seems there might be compatibility issues when trying to load the library as an ESM module in a browser environment without a bundler typically used in React or NodeJS projects.
Expected Behavior:
I would expect to be able to import @gravity-ui/graph directly into my web component using standard ESM import syntax and use its functionalities without requiring a complex build process or dependencies on React/NodeJS.
Possible Solutions/Requests:
- Could you provide guidance on how to properly import and use
@gravity-ui/graphin a pure JavaScript/ESM environment? - Are there any specific configurations or build steps required to make it compatible with web components?
- Would it be possible to provide an ESM build of the library that is optimized for browser usage without NodeJS dependencies?
- Example usage in pure JS (webcomponents) would be helpful.
To the Gravity-UI Team:
Thank you for your work on this library! I believe that making it more easily accessible in pure JavaScript/ESM environments would greatly expand its potential user base.
