hello. I recently asked here for help with Lemmy HTTP API and someone said “why don’t you use lemmy-js-client?”. i tried to add it and…

first i searched the internet about this library and it turns out that it is an npm library… (I have github pages) i searched different variations of the library and found a cdn version of it. i tried to add it. it was a hell of a torture… i added it the way I add cdn libraries, nothing. i searched all over the internet, but found null. i even asked chatgpt! to no avail. the library (and everything I tried to get out of it) turned into undefined!

what am I supposed to do? this is cdn version what i tried to add
if u want here is source code

    Maybe include your “add it” and “the library turned into undefined” code as a minimum example?

    So people can actually check your assumptions and actions and match it against the lib.

        That js file certainly doesn’t look like a normal module to me that I would expect when importing a module.

        But I’m not too familiar with the JS ecosystem to the point where I know what that dynamic Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule" magic does or how it’s supposed to be used.

        But I can see why the import would result in undefined.

        With my first search of LemmyHttp I land on https://join-lemmy.org/api/classes/LemmyHttp.html, which says Defined in src/http.ts:153. Have you considered importing http.js? Looking at the http.js on the CDN I can at least see the LemmyHttp class type you seem to try to import.
