fix: invalid path for export in package.json (v 5.0.0)

[cristianoliveira]

First of all, thanks for this library! We have been using it for quite a long time, and it works like a charm.

Description

It seems that there are invalid values exported in the package.json https://github.com/developit/unfetch/blob/main/package.json#L18

It causes issue while using unfetch as a module, for instance, we use webpack and once upgraded to 5.0.0 it started to break the build with the given (not so clear, to say the least) error:

ERROR in ./src/index.js 1:0-30
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'unfetch' in '/Users/user/dev/unfetch-issue-demo/src'

Demo

Here you can see an example of this issue:

Solution

After pointing to src/index.mjs it started to compile again and it is working as expected. 😄

Let me know if this is the right solution.

For those who use webpack and want a quick fix, while this isn't correctly addressed, you can create an alias and point to the correct file:

In the webpack.config.js include:

  resolve: {
    alias: {
      'unfetch': path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/unfetch/dist/unfetch.mjs'),
    },
  },

Looks correct to me!

@rschristian @developit pinging in case you have forgotten to approve

[rschristian]

Sorry, not a maintainer, my approval does nothing. Just a drive-by suggestion as I ran into this and was seeing if anyone had submitted a fix yet.

Workes fine. Thanks

But its showing that your review is pending..

[rschristian]

Doesn't matter -- GitHub's UI is a bit weird there for sure, but the approval of non-maintainers does nothing. You'd see a "collaborator" badge (I think) next to my name if I was able to approve and merge.

@developit ?

This would be really nice to have merged since it currently is unusable in vite without a manual override.

For anyone else using vite, adding a resolve alias solved this for now:

defineConfig({
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      unfetch: path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules/unfetch/dist/unfetch.mjs"),
    }
  }
})

=> Failed to build the preview
ReferenceError: path is not defined

And if I'm importing

import path from 'path';

I'm still getting
Error: Failed to resolve entry for package "unfetch". The package may have incorrect main/module/exports specified in its package.json.

Can someone merge this, please?
