22 errors have detailed information that is not shown. Failed to compile. webpack < 5 used to include polyfills for node.js core modules by default. This is no longer the case. Verify if you need this module and configure a polyfill for it.

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'zlib' in 'C:\Users\joshm\Downloads\New folder (14)\myapp\node_modules\body-parser\lib' BREAKING CHANGE: webpack < 5 used to include polyfills for node.js core modules by default. This is no longer the case. Verify if you need this module and configure a polyfill for it.

If you want to include a polyfill, you need to:
        - add a fallback 'resolve.fallback: { "zlib": require.resolve("browserify-zlib") }'
        - install 'browserify-zlib'
If you don't want to include a polyfill, you can use an empty module like this:
        resolve.fallback: { "zlib": false }

Answer 1

I have same problem. And this solution will help you:

1. npm i node-polyfill-webpack-plugin
2. Write this code into vue.config.js

const NodePolyfillPlugin = require('node-polyfill-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  configureWebpack: {
    plugins: [new NodePolyfillPlugin()]
  }
};

Answer 2

This happens when you import an unrecognized module into your Application. Check all the modules you are importing from expressjs.
