createRequire is not a function

[tomhalley]

I am trying to run scribe.js-ocr in an api endpoint with Next.JS. Here's a function called from my route (taken from the example)

'use server'
import scribe from 'scribe.js-ocr'

export const extractOCRFromImage = async () => {
  scribe
    .extractText(['https://tesseract.projectnaptha.com/img/eng_bw.png'])
    .then((res) => console.log(res))
}

I get the following error when running my next.js app on dev local:

 ⨯ TypeError: createRequire is not a function
    at eval (webpack-internal:///(rsc)/./node_modules/scribe.js-ocr/js/containers/fontContainer.js:29:24) {
  page: '/api/import'

This is on Node v20.16.0 with scribe-ocr version ^0.5.1

Any help would be greatly appreciated

We have a functioning example using Next.js listed in the readme (see here). If you implement the configuration options found there Scribe.js should work with Next.js.
