issue with import cesium and webpack

[redrobotdev]

I am encountering two issues with the create-react-app v 3.4.1 and craco-cesium v 1.2.0.
I created a simple application using create-react-app and install @craco, craco-cesium and cesium. See project package.json file

{
  "name": "desktopapp",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@craco/craco": "^5.6.4",
    "@testing-library/jest-dom": "^4.2.4",
    "@testing-library/react": "^9.5.0",
    "@testing-library/user-event": "^7.2.1",
    "cesium": "^1.69.0",
    "craco-cesium": "^1.2.0",
    "lodash": "^4.17.15",
    "prop-types": "^15.7.2",
    "react": "^16.13.1",
    "react-dom": "^16.13.1",
    "react-router-dom": "^5.2.0",
    "react-scripts": "3.4.1"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "start": "craco start",
    "build": "craco build",
    "test": "react-scripts test",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  },
  "eslintConfig": {
    "extends": "react-app"
  },
  "browserslist": {
    "production": [
      ">0.2%",
      "not dead",
      "not op_mini all"
    ],
    "development": [
      "last 1 chrome version",
      "last 1 firefox version",
      "last 1 safari version"
    ]
  }
}

in the view, I have the following Cesium import line which returns undefined:

import Cesium from 'cesium';
console.log(Cesium);

after deleting the node_modules and package-lock.json files and running npm install the depencencies are installed again, though starting the app npm run start showing the following error:

$ npm run start

> [email protected] start /home/ababakanian/SNT/scenario_analyzer/desktopapp
> craco start


There might be a problem with the project dependency tree.
It is likely not a bug in Create React App, but something you need to fix locally.

The react-scripts package provided by Create React App requires a dependency:

  "webpack": "4.42.0"

Don't try to install it manually: your package manager does it automatically.
However, a different version of webpack was detected higher up in the tree:

  /home/ababakanian/SNT/scenario_analyzer/desktopapp/node_modules/webpack (version: 4.43.0) 

listing the webpack versions. this is what I see:

$ npm ls webpack
[email protected] /home/ababakanian/SNT/scenario_analyzer/desktopapp
├─┬ [email protected]
│ └── UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY [email protected] 
└─┬ [email protected]
  └── [email protected] 

npm ERR! peer dep missing: webpack@^2.0.0, required by [email protected]

the associated react-scripts uses webpack v 4.43.0 see https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/package.json#L81
though craco-cesium uses 4.42.1, see https://github.com/darwin-education/craco-cesium/blob/master/package.json#L15
is this the cause of the issue?

Any update on this? I'm having the same issue and getting the same errors.

I think the issue is not Craco related, the newer version of Cesium doesn't export default cesium, so you have to use individual imports

We created a single-file distro, c137.js, that might help with this issue. Example config files for different bundler or import configs are here.
