Stripe JS - Vite config issue - ssr.noExternal

[hollow wigeon]

Hello!
Trying to get Stripe integration going into these 2 apps, and got it working locally, but when I run the build I get this error:

Cannot bundle Node.js built-in "events" imported from "node_modules/stripe/lib/stripe.js". Consider disabling ssr.noExternal or remove the built-in dependency.

I looked on Discord and found some other similar requests, but none of their solves has worked so far.

Anyone familiar with and can help?
Running the Stripe Node JS as a server side API in an onPost
https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node

I'm not great with vite config or regex, so here is what I've tried;
noExternal: [/stripe.js$/, /node_modules\/stripe\/lib\/stripe.js$/]

• every combo of both, or only 1

noExternal: true

So far still failing build.

Tried removing defineConfig and returning the object, makes no difference (didn't think it would, but will try all the things)

Seems like not using the Stripe SDK does work, so using the API directly with fetch is the workaround, but would love to figure this out so I can use their SDK instead

IF anyone else has this issue - I built a Cloudflare worker since they now support Stripe and am running that as a wrapper API for my calls, made a little RESTful API out of it, which is fun.

Have you tried loading the SDK using a script tage <script async src="https://js.stripe.com/v3/"></script> rather than importing it into the bundle?
