Description of the problem

My Codesandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/bold-haze-xwxip8?file=/src/index.js
fails to run: "Failed to fetch Object.module.exports [as request]"

The Console error says: "Unable to open 'request.js': File not found (file:///sandbox/node_modules/html-to-json/lib/request.js)."
while the file actually exists in the package: https://github.com/prolificinteractive/node-html-to-json/tree/master/lib

How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?

I'm trying to... actually try the "html-to-json" package.
The npm package is: https://www.npmjs.com/package/html-to-json

To Reproduce

Check my codesandbox (see link).

Research direction

Start with the linked CodeSandbox and its browser console error, then compare the failing import with the html-to-json package's lib directory, especially lib/request.js. Reproduce the missing-file failure and determine what is needed for the sandbox to run the imported package successfully.
