Error Module not found: Error: Package path . is not exported from package C:\Users\Sairam\Visual Code\todo-list\node_modules\firebase (see exports field in C:\Users\Sairam\Visual Code\todo-list\node_modules\firebase\package.json) Did you mean './firebase'?

Answer 1

I believe the firebase had lot of updates recently, so you should update the imports this way and it worked liked a charm.

import firebase from 'firebase/compat/app';
import 'firebase/compat/auth';
import 'firebase/compat/firestore';

const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: "AIzaSyBOK7x5N5UnjY4TDqndzH7l5tvdNIsWFRc",
  authDomain: "todo-app-e3cf0.firebaseapp.com",
  projectId: "todo-app-e3cf0",
  storageBucket: "todo-app-e3cf0.appspot.com",
  messagingSenderId: "940016886081",
  appId: "1:940016886081:web:91686613f16b1b1f8001c0",
  measurementId: "G-JHPC7TP12K"
};

// Use this to initialize the firebase App
const firebaseApp = firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

// Use these for db & auth
const db = firebaseApp.firestore();
const auth = firebase.auth();

export { auth, db };

Answer 2

You should import like below. I see this from the firebase documentation: https://www.npmjs.com/package/firebase

import { initializeApp } from "firebase/app";
import { getFirestore } from 'firebase/firestore/lite';

const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: "AIzaSyBOK7x5N5UnjY4TDqndzH7l5tvdNIsWFRc",
  authDomain: "todo-app-e3cf0.firebaseapp.com",
  projectId: "todo-app-e3cf0",
  storageBucket: "todo-app-e3cf0.appspot.com",
  messagingSenderId: "940016886081",
  appId: "1:940016886081:web:91686613f16b1b1f8001c0",
  measurementId: "G-JHPC7TP12K"
};

const firebaseApp = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
const db = getFirestore(firebaseApp);

export default db;

If you use electron-react-boilerplate, in webpack.config.renderer.dev.dll.ts, remove firebase from the entry point. For example:

  entry: {
    renderer: Object.keys(dependencies || {}).filter((it) => it !== 'firebase'),
  },

Answer 4

You have mistaken at const db = firebase.firestore();

It should be const db = firebaseApp.firestore();

Even after doing that you will get error of module not found. You need to import as following

import firebase from 'firebase/compat/app';

import 'firebase/compat/firestore';

This worked for me as I had the same issue!!

Answer 5

I noticed that I was importing my firebase.ts config file as import db from "firebase" (absolute imports)

The issue here was that webpack was referencing the "firebase" from node_modules, rather than from my firebase.ts. And that's why it threw that error.

I fixed it by importing my firebase configs as import db from "../../firebase", and that worked

Answer 6

maybe i meeted the same problem when using webpack. i solved the problem by setting webpack/configuration/resolve/#resolveconditionnames

Answer 7

As in v-9.8.2. Here is the docs link

import { initializeApp } from "firebase/app";
import { getAuth } from "firebase/auth";
import { getStorage } from "firebase/storage";
import { getFirestore } from "firebase/firestore";
import { getDatabase } from "firebase/database";

const firebaseConfig = {};

// Initialize Firebase
const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
export const firebaseAuth = getAuth(app);
export const fbDatabase = getDatabase(app);
export const fStore = getFirestore(app);
export const fStorage = getStorage(app);
