ERROR: Could not resolve "web-worker"

[vincerubinetti]

Getting this error trying to use this package with a modern Vite SPA with ESBuild:

✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "web-worker"

    node_modules/elkjs/lib/main.js:38:29:
      38 │         var Worker = require('web-worker');
         ╵                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~

  You can mark the path "web-worker" as external to exclude it from the bundle, which will remove
  this error and leave the unresolved path in the bundle. You can also surround this "require" call
  with a try/catch block to handle this failure at run-time instead of bundle-time.
