Summary
Should fix the failing check when bumping yari in mdn/content mdn/content#22218.
Problem
#7430 changed the way we import dependencies by moving from
require
toimport
, andimport
statements cannot be imported conditionally, because they must appear at the top of the file. However, whenimport
ing (orrequire
ing) an optional dependency (e.g. adevDepencency
) unconditionally, this will cause an error.Specifically, we
require
prettier and webpack, which are available when developing yari, but not when using yari as part of mdn/content.PS: ESLint actually complains about this via the
n/no-unpublished-import
rule, but we don't currently run ESLint on TypeScript until #7454 lands and that PR has that rule disabled.Solution
When using (dev) dependencies, use a conditional
require
instead ofimport
.PS: Migrating to ESM would allow us to use
await import("webpack")
instead, but we're not there yet.Screenshots
