`gatsby develop` works fine, but I get the `WebpackError: ReferenceError: self is not defined` when running `gatsby build`

UPDATE:

Changing the way I was importing it from import Carousel from "react-spring-3d-carousel"; to

import loadable from "@loadable/component";
const Carousel = loadable(() => import("react-spring-3d-carousel"))

fixed the issue!

Note: For others that may be facing similar issues, not only related to react-spring-3d-carousel: if adding a null loader to the SSR transpilation doesn't work, the other possible workaround is adding a loadable component, which in fact, what is doing is to perform a code-splitting in the server-side.

The error is as follows:

  WebpackError: ReferenceError: self is not defined

This seems to be related to the react-spring-3d-carousel/dist/bundle.js:2:262 (https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-spring-3d-carousel)

which has the following code:

/*! For license information please see bundle.js.LICENSE.txt */
!function(e,t){"object"==typeof exports&&"object"==typeof module?module.exports=t():"function"==typeof define&&define.amd?define("react-3d-carousel-spring",[],t):"object"==typeof exports?exports["react-3d-carousel-spring"]=t():e["react-3d-carousel-spring"]=t()}(self,(function(){return function(){var e={418:function(e){"use strict"...

as you can see, "self" is being used here.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue

Update: Added this to gatsby-node.js

exports.onCreateWebpackConfig = ({ stage, loaders, actions }) => {
    if (stage === "build-html") {
        actions.setWebpackConfig({
            module: {
                rules: [
                    {
                        test: /react-spring-3d-carousel/,
                        use: loaders.null(),
                    },
                ],
            },
        })
    }
}

now, get this error with gatsby build:

exports.onCreateWebpackConfig = ({ stage, loaders, actions }) => {
    if (stage === "build-html") {
        actions.setWebpackConfig({
            module: {
                rules: [
                    {
                        test: /react-spring-3d-carousel/,
                        use: loaders.null(),
                    },
                ],
            },
        })
    }
}

WebpackError: Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: object.
