Introduction
It appears that the error you encountered is related to the use of big integer literals in the specific file. Unfortunately, these literals are not supported in the specified target environments ("chrome87", "edge88", "es2020", "firefox78", "safari13", and their overrides).
Solution
To resolve this issue, you can try updating the target environment for the build to include support for big integer literals. The updated target environment can include the following options: "chrome90", "edge90", "firefox87", "safari14", and their overrides.
To configure the target environment in your Vite or build tool, follow these steps:
For Vite (v2.5.0 or above), add the following to your `vite.config.js` file:
export default {
// ... other Vite config options ...
build: {
target: 'es2020', // Set the target to es2020 to support big integer literals
},
};
Make sure to configure the target environment similarly if you're using another build tool.
Once you've made this change, rebuild your project, and the issue related to big integer literals should be resolved.
