vite keeps looking for a file named crate_js which is the wrong file name

[Daniel Elebash]

I am trying to use the wasm package photon from https://github.com/silvia-odwyer/photon

The crate compiles just fine. However there are 2 problems

My folder structure is
crate
app
npm_modules
package.json
vite.config.js

1. Even though I am dealing with just a local crate vite still wants to look for an npm_module called crate.
2. It is also looking for a file named crate.js however, photon crate outputs different file names such as photon_rs.js

My vite plugin is this plugins: [wasmPack(['./crate']),vue(),
The error I get initially when running vite server is no such file or directory node_modules\crate\crate.js'
I can fix this by changing my vite config to plugins: [wasmPack(['./crate'], ['crate']),vue(),

Now it finds the crate under node_modules but I get an error that it cannot find file crate.js but the actual file name in the package is outputed as photon_rs.js

Any help is appriciated. TY I am new to wasm so still learning.

hi @delebash I made it works

• demo : http://github.nshen.net/photon-vite/
• code: https://github.com/nshen/photon-vite

to make it work , we have to build crate with wasm-pack build --target web , so it can be load in browser.
I rebuilt the photon library and published it here
https://www.npmjs.com/package/photon-web

then set our plugin as

  // we have no local crate, so leave the first param an empty array
  plugins: [wasmPack([], ["photon-web"])],
