Not working with esbuild/vite

[DiscreteTom]

Thanks for this cool lib!

I'm trying to use this lib in a frontend project using vite, when I build my project with esbuild I got the following error:

Illegal reassignment to import 'commonjsRequire'
file: C:/Users/xxx/node_modules/markdown-toc/lib/utils.js:10:0
 8: var utils = require('lazy-cache')(require);
 9: var fn = require;
10: require = utils;
    ^
11: 
12: /**

Looks like require is a reserved word and can't be changed, so how to solve this?

In JavaScript, require is not reserved, however many bundling tools do things to make it seem like it is.

For webpack, the unlazy-loader transforms the pattern used in this utils.js file, so that require is not reassigned.

I'm not as familiar with vite (is it using esbuild?), but there might be a way to configure transformation plugins in a similar fashion. If there isn't a direct way to use a webpack plugin with vite, the unlazy-loader function could be wrapped in a way to adapter to vite.

I hope this helps, and if you try something that works (or almost works), please let us know.
