React JS with VIte

Facing this Uncaught ReferenceError: HowlerGlobal is not defined.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Hi @mazhar-kv, I'm not familiar with Vite so I won't be much help here but I think you'll need to provide more information for anyone else to be helpful.

Based on my knowledge of this library I think this is unlikely an issue with react-howler and more likely an issue with your configuration or build. I'll let the issue sit open for a while in case someone see it that's experienced the issue previously.

I am having the same issue with "react-howler": "^5.2.0",

I managed to resolve this issue for my project configuration.

The issue was related to the Vite configuration. To fix it, I added the following snippet to my vite.config.js file:
export default defineConfig({ // other Vite configurations define: { global: 'window', }, });

After making this change, the problem was resolved for me. I hope this helps anyone else facing the same issue.
