Description
Hello,
I am currently using libsql on my Expo/React Native project. It works fine with native code, however, I aim to use libsql Wasm for the web version. I am encountering the error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Cannot use 'import.meta' outside a module.
The error points to:
var sqlite3InitModule = (() => {
var _scriptDir = import.meta.url;
Here is an example for reference:
import { createClient } from "@libsql/client-wasm";
const client = createClient({
url: "file:local.db",
});
I suspect the issue could be related to metro bundling, any idea ?
Thank you

Research direction
Reproduce the Expo/React Native web example using @libsql/client-wasm and createClient, then inspect how Metro or Expo Router bundles the generated sqlite3InitModule code containing import.meta.url. Done means the web version loads without the “Cannot use import.meta outside a module” syntax error.
