Importing pixi tilemap does not work

[ThomasvanHoutum]

I am trying to use a tilemap in my project, I am installing everything with npm.

Importing anything from pixi.js works just fine, but when I install pixi/loaders and or pixi/tilemap it turns from this: https://i.stack.imgur.com/RYUd2.png, to this: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Yltmb.png. When I hover over the items it says Cannot resolve symbol 'thing', and these are the declarations: https://i.stack.imgur.com/hAxT6.png.

I imported the loader and tilemap with npm i --save @pixi/loaders and npm i --save @pixi/tilemap, and installed pixi with npm i pixi.js.

Also when I try to use the loader like this: import {Loader} from "@pixi/loaders", I get this: https://i.stack.imgur.com/UIfXy.png error.

I don't now what I am doing wrong here.

Thanks in advance.

Can you please check, i just published version for v7?

FYI: I am also unable to import @pixi/tilemap in my Pixi v7 application.

Unfortunately I don't have useful logs and I'm using Pixi via ClojureScript so my tooling configuration is unlikely to help in diagnosing the issue.

Update:

I've tracked the issue to differences between node module types. I think the core issue is that @pixi/tilemap has "type": "module" in package.json and other @pixi packages I am using do not.

It appears @pixi/tilemap works if you import it from a node project that uses "type": "module in package.json, but using require("@pixi/tilemap") (commonjs) fails.

const { Tilemap } = require("@pixi/tilemap");
console.log("foo", Tilemap);

Results in an error:

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /Users/noonian/projects/pixi-tilemap-repro/node_modules/@pixi/tilemap/dist/pixi-tilemap.umd.js from /Users/noonian/projects/pixi-tilemap-repro/index.js not supported.
pixi-tilemap.umd.js is treated as an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which declares all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.
Instead rename pixi-tilemap.umd.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules, or change "type": "module" to "type": "commonjs" in /Users/noonian/projects/pixi-tilemap-repro/node_modules/@pixi/tilemap/package.json to treat all .js files as CommonJS (using .mjs for all ES modules instead).

The tooling I am using from ClojureScript (shadow-cljs) "guesses" which way to import the library based on the keys "module", "browser", and "main" in package.json, none of which are present in @pixi/tilemap. So I can work around this issue by hacking the package.json in my node_modules before compilation and adding "main": "./dist/pixi-tilemap.js" or "module": "./dist/pixi-tilemap.es.js", to my node_modules/@pixi/tilemap/package.json after installing my dependencies.

I could not get my repro script to run using commonjs requires without removing "type": "module" from the package.json in my local node_modules. I have not tried getting this working using a bundler like webpack.

@noonian can you please check if issue gone with this branch: https://github.com/steel97/pixi-tilemap/tree/cjs-test
I removed "type": "module" from package.json
you can install this version by changing your package.json:
"@pixi/tilemap": "github:steel97/pixi-tilemap#cjs-test"
