Hello!
I have the same issue form this topic (#803) but nothing from there is helping me.
Im trying to import elasticsearch in my app.
I installed npm install @elastic/elasticsearch and npm i @types/node

node: v12.16.1
@elastic/elasticsearch: ^7.10.0
os: MacOS 10.15.6
typescript: ^3.7.2

When i try what @delvedor suggested #803 (comment)
my index is empty.

In the code i just imported:
import { Client } from '@elastic/elasticsearch';
and then const client = new Client({ node: 'http://localhost:9200' });

The error that i get when i try to run the app :

Thank you!

Hello! A few questions:

• Are you using the client in the browser?
• Are you using the code in Node.js and using webpack for creating a single bundle?

@delvedor
Yes, the client it's in the browser.
I have a React project with typescript and i'm trying to call the elasticsearch from it. I think we are using webpack, as far as i know the app was created with create-react-app.

Hope this answer your questions.
Thanks a lot!

This library is not meant to work from the browser, as you can see here.
I recommend writing a lightweight Node.js proxy to send requests to Elasticsearch and make your frontend talk with the proxy.
