svelte: Unable to load an external svelte components (.svelte files)

[soullivaneuh]

Describe the bug
I cannot import svelte module from external components library like this one: https://gitlab.com/nexylan/svelty

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Follow Svelty installation (package.json edit). (For my case, I put it on dependencies because I want it installed while my library is added, but devDependencies causes the same issue).
2. Try to import and use the Copy component.
3. Launch test and/or build

You will have the following error:

    Cannot find module 'svelty' from 'RideStepPlace.svelte'

      1 | <script>
    > 2 |   import { Copy } from 'svelty';
        |                ^
      3 | 
      4 |   export let ride;
      5 |   export let step;

      at Resolver.resolveModule (node_modules/jest-resolve/build/index.js:259:17)
      at Object.<anonymous> (src/components/RideStepPlace.svelte:2:16)

Expected behavior
The module should be loaded

Please note that the library works well with the roll-up component build. This is only not working with Storybook.

System:
Please paste the results of npx -p @storybook/cli@next sb info here.

Here is the workaround I found:

cd node_modules/svelty
npm install
# Build svelte files onto dist js files. Needed for StoryBook
# @see https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook/issues/9542
npm run build-components
cd -

Put that on the install script, it generate the compiled js file to get StoryBook working.

Still, it is possible to load .svelte files directly with rollup and webpack.

Maybe a missing configuration/loader on the Storybook compiler? Which one do you use?

@soullivaneuh
Your package's main and module fields rely on dist/ which does not exist. Try using a prepare hook instead of prepublishOnly. The prepublishOnly hook won't run when the package is installed as git dependency.

If you want Storybook to resolve to the file specified in package.json#svelte, configuring resolve.mainFields would help.

// main.js
module.exports = {
  webpackFinal(config) {
    return {
      ...config,
      resolve: {
        ...config.resolve,
        mainFields: ['svelte', 'browser', 'module', 'main']
    }
  }
}
