one of my dependencies is using "buffer"

Now I can make it work in the browser?

is your dependency required on the client?

I think so. This is the error the console is prompting

do you know which dependency it is? like the direct not indirect if you're using pnpm you can do pnpm why safe-buffer you can also do npm ls safe-buffer

are you using this directly? seems like the library isn't meant to be used for the browser

I see, I was looking for a workaround thanks for your time anyways I really appreciate the time and effort I find a workaround in github I post it here for future explorers:

import { Buffer } from 'buffer'
globalThis.Buffer = Buffer`
const { IMPORTED } = await import('YOUR_PACKAGE');

import { Buffer } from 'buffer'
globalThis.Buffer = Buffer`
const { IMPORTED } = await import('YOUR_PACKAGE');

just change Imported and "your package" for whatever you are trying to import
