Cannot resolve module 'net'

[ryoia]

I installed this and got the Cannot resolve module 'net' error, is this not okay to use in browser?

The error is from node_modules/stompjs/lib/stomp-node.js

Is the browser file. The node one will only work in a NodeJS Environment. It calls require using some Node modules.

Hi guys, From NPM, how do you go about just including the client friendly version? I am struggling to use this in a react application.

i have the same issue like @ChrisCooney, would be really nice to have it in a npm package

I almost got it to work as expected when I "required" Stomp like this var Stomp = require("stompjs/lib/stomp.js").Stomp That gets you the browser version which doesn't have the 'net' dependency, but I had other problems so I can't confirm that it works fully.

(This is after I installed it through npm as usual, with npm install stompjs --save)

I have the same issue,but i solved it by "npm i net -S"

For me this is an issue with Webpack. If you are using Webpack the ideal fix is to add this to your webpack config:

node: {
  net: 'empty',
},

Similar issue here: https://github.com/hapijs/joi/issues/665#issuecomment-113713020

you can do this in webpackconfig

var node_dir = __dirname + '/node_modules';

resolve: {
        alias: {
            'stompjs': node_dir + '/stompjs/lib/stomp.js',
        }
    }

@jcalaz solved my issue @flyleft

[darwayne]

for anyone else having this issue, another solution is using a cdn for this instead of bundling it with your application.

[RahulKwani]

Thanks @flyleft for solution.

Wouldn't making net as peer dependencies solve this issue?

[sonee123]

Thanks @flyleft it's working for me.

Have you seen what this package is ? It seems very strange... https://github.com/sleeplessinc/net/blob/master/index.js I really don't understand what it is for ?!

[eranf91]

It has been 5 years and problem still occurs. why shoul I install the net depdency? what does it do?

[Polve]

This package is unmantanained, there are other packages if you need to use stomp over websockets, for example https://github.com/stomp-js/stompjs or https://github.com/JSteunou/webstomp-client

[varHarrie]

Note: After webpack 5, you should use resolve.fallback, for example:

{
  resolve: {
    fallback: {
      net: false,
    },
  },
}
