Fix bundler issue with webpack 5 - #1862

has this fix been released?

The workaround for this was using require('handlebars/lib/handlebars'),

I've tried doing that, but it just exposes a new error:

node_modules/handlebars/lib/handlebars/internal/proto-access.js:48:4-14 - Error: export 'log' (imported as 'logger') was not found in '../logger' (possible exports: default)

Will this fix be released soon? I see on npmjs.com that the last release was 2 years ago?

Do we know when this might be released to NPM? This is blocking my project from upgrading to latest create react app...

I'll try to get it done this week. 🤞

May I ask when will this be released? it's already 2023

I hope this gets merged soon.

For those having issues doing this workaround in Typescript, Here's what I did:

create a type definition file:

declare module "handlebars/lib/handlebars" {
  // Re-export the types from the existing handlebars module
  export * from "handlebars";
}

imports will be like this:

import Handlebars from "handlebars/lib/handlebars";

usage is:

const template = Handlebars["export="].compile(textTemplate);
...

Glad that this is merged. I hope this fix will be released soon.

@karlo-humanmanaged I got Typescript complaining from your workaround:

Module '"handlebars"' uses 'export =' and cannot be used with 'export *'.ts(2498)

Here's mine:

Create a type definition file types/handlebars.ts:

declare module "handlebars/lib/handlebars" {
  // Re-export the types from the existing handlebars module
  import Handlebars = require("handlebars");
  export default Handlebars;
}

Import like this:

import Handlebars from "handlebars/lib/handlebars";

Usage:

const template = Handlebars.compile(textTemplate);

@jaylinski Any updates on this?
