Can't resolve 'imba/loader'

[shishtpal]

I have tried all imba2 templates (webpack, snowpack, parcel) but none of them is working for me. Now I am reporting issues related to webpack based template.

I download template using git clone https://github.com/imba/webpack-app-imba.git and then I installed all dependencies using npm install after all that when I start the app using npm run start , It failed and shows this error.

I am using node-v14.16.0

ERROR in Entry module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'imba/loader' in 'C:\Users\ssp\Documents\lang-imba\my-cards'

Thanks

It is recommended to use the esbuild-based build system, which can be set up using these instructions: https://imba.io/language/getting-started had you tried that one? I think the webpack/rollup/snowpack ones are all considered unsupported now.
