Solution 1

The solution was to remove the include and add the .js file and its depencies on the html file. Note that it's not really clear if you read github.js' site.

<html>
   <body id="mybody"> 
     <button id="mybutton" >Click me</button>
     <script src="GitHub.bundle.min.js"></script> 
     <script src="underscore-min.js"></script> 
     <script type="module" src="popup.js"></script>
   </body>
</html>

Solution 2

There might be a trick to do so:

Try :

import * as GitHub from '/static/GitHub.bundle.js';

I am trying to use GitHub.js on a Chrome/Firefox extension and I have some issues.

Uncaught SyntaxError: The requested module '/static/GitHub.bundle.js' does not provide an export named 'default'

I've found a possible solution here but I still doesn't work. The authors of 99% of javascript give for granted that the basics are know, but either I don't know them or there is a subtle issue/bug I don't see.

My code is simple:
```
<html>
  <body id="mybody"> 
    <button id="mybutton" >Click me</button>
    <script type="module" src="popup.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>
```
and popup.js:
```
//import GitHub from './GitHub.bundle.js';
import * as GitHub from './GitHub.bundle.js';
function onWindowLoad() {
}
window.onload = onWindowLoad;
document.getElementById("mybutton").addEventListener("click", clickme); 

function clickme() {
    var github = new GitHub({
        username: 'USER',
        password: 'PASS',
        auth: 'basic'
    });
}
```
it does stop immediately. it doesn't matter what I have after that. What am I doing wrong? It shouldn't work even as a standalone page.

Note that I have to use .js or I get a "file not found".
