While using the @googlemaps/js-api-loader in my Nuxt 3 website, I encountered an issue. Everything worked perfectly during local development. However, when I attempted to build the project with nuxt generate (whether locally or on Vercel), I received the following error:
[nuxt] [request error] Named export 'Loader' not found. The requested module 'file:///path/to/website/node_modules/@googlemaps/js-api-loader/dist/index.umd.js' is a CommonJS module, which may not support all module.exports as named exports. CommonJS modules can always be imported via the default export, for example using:
The crucial part of loading the script appears like this:
import { Loader } from '@googlemaps/js-api-loader';
const loader = new Loader({
apiKey: config.googleMapsApiKey,
version: 'weekly',
});
onMounted(async() => {
await loader
.load()
...
To tackle this issue, I tried importing the package differently, such as:
import * as gmaps from '@googlemaps/js-api-loader';
const { Loader } = gmaps;
After making this change, the previous error disappeared but now I am faced with:
[Vue warn]: Unhandled error during execution of setup function

I am unable to import the package through default export either. Any suggestions on what could be causing this issue and how it can be resolved?
