Hi @Nandish. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the information available, it seems like your issue might be related to missing dependencies or incorrect module handling in your deployment environment. Here are a few steps you can take to resolve the
ReferenceError: require is not defined
error:
1. Install Missing Dependencies:
Ensure that all necessary dependencies, such as graphql
and graphql-tag
, are installed. There is a known issue where the graphql
module might be missing, causing build failures.
You can install the graphql-tag
package as a dev dependency as a workaround:
This was suggested by the support staff in a Discord support thread:
Trusted Support Staff 20: Hello Community Member 185 thanks for the report! We'll fix it, in the meantime, you can install graphql-tag
package as dev dependecy as a workaround (source (https://discord.com/channels/837692625737613362/1203779575335624725)).
2. Check for Type Declarations:
Ensure that the graphql
module and its type declarations are correctly installed. A similar issue was reported where the build failed due to missing type declarations for graphql
:
Type error: Cannot find module 'graphql' or its corresponding type declarations (source (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/5852)).3. Review Your Dockerfile: If you are using Docker for deployment, make sure your Dockerfile is correctly set up to install dependencies only when needed. Here is an example snippet from a Dockerfile: This ensures that dependencies are installed in the correct stage of the build process (source (https://discord.com/channels/837692625737613362/1181321409146925066)). 4. Handle GraphQL Errors: If you are using a custom GraphQL client, ensure that it correctly handles errors. Here is an example of how to handle GraphQL error responses: This ensures that any errors from the GraphQL server are properly thrown and can be handled accordingly (source (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/1794)). By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the
ReferenceError: require is not defined
error in your Amplify deployment. If the issue persists, consider checking the Amplify documentation or reaching out to their support for more specific guidance.

I heard that web browser don't have "require" how to workaround this ?
I tried webpack configuration, but it is not working as expected
