remix.config.js -> Adding external property to module.exports | Remix | Page 1

Hello,

I am trying to add the external property in remix.config.js to exclude a few packages from the bundle (mentioned below) . This however is not working. Can someone point out where I might be wrong?

module.exports = {
cacheDirectory: "./node_modules/.cache/remix",
ignoredRouteFiles: ["/.*", "/.css", "**/.test.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}"],
external: ["@progress/kendo-drawing", "@progress/kendo-svg-icons"],
}

Thanks!

I think you're looking for serverDependenciesToBundle https://remix.run/docs/en/v1/file-conventions/remix-config#serverdependenciestobundle, there's no external property

Thanks! I tried the serverDependenciesToBundle approach and it didn't work. If you think external is not a property, could you help me understand the error message I am getting from Remix.

#

#

The error states "You can mark the path "@progress/kendo-drawing" as external to exclude it from the bundle, which will remove the error

#

Thanks @runic hollow

#

the error looks like those packages are not installed in your node_modules

#

so Remix can't find them

#

I think the error comes from esbuild 🤔
