Problem with Rails Stimulus controller use

[MtnBiker]

Rails Stimulus doesn't deal with ol/control/Control, therefore going back to old style which seems to work.

Using node_modules;

import ol from 'openlayers/dist/ol-debug.js'

and then have to use for example var baseLayers = new ol.layer.Group

But import LayerSwitcher from 'ol-layerswitcher/dist/ol-layerswitcher.js'

has this error

 ✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "ol/control/Control"

     node_modules/ol-layerswitcher/dist/ol-layerswitcher.js:2:97:

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

Any work arounds or? LayerSwitcher is what I need for my app. Thank you

It looks as though you're using ES Modules to import OpenLayers and the LayerSwitcher but when imported ol-layerswitcher thinks you're using CommonJS hence the attempt to use require.

Do you know why Rails Stimulus doesn't support import Map from 'ol/Map'; etc?
