Link to an UMD node_module in app.blade.php

[mrleblanc101]

I've added <script src="{{ Vite::asset("node_modules/vanilla-cookieconsent/dist/cookieconsent.umd.js") }}"></script> in my head, but I get this error at build-time: Unable to locate file in Vite manifest: node_modules/vanilla-cookieconsent/dist/cookieconsent.umd.js.

If I look at the manifest, I see I could add ?commonjs-entry to make the link work, but I cannot find any information about this. Also this seems to wrap the UMD code so that CookieConsent is not added to the global scope, which is not what I want.

I could import the ESM version like so import * as CookieConsent from 'vanilla-cookieconsent'; and link it like so @vite(['resources/js/cookie-consent.js'], but this would create a <script type="module"> which would be executed after my GTM Script initialization which is a regular<script>.

Script type="module" are executed after DOMContentLoaded, while regular <script> are blocking and executed immediatly.
