Initial error when trying to use @iconify-icons/cryptocurrency with next.js and typescript (it happens only when in typescript).

SyntaxError: Unexpected token export

export default data;

The problem does not happen with all libraries. It seems to me that during the transpilation babel has a problem with the library syntax.

Then I've tried to transpile the lib next-transpile-modules to fix the problem using the code below.

const withTM = require("next-transpile-modules")([
  "@iconify-icons/cryptocurrency"
]);

module.exports = withTM();

But a new problem has happened.

Error: next-transpile-modules - an unexpected error happened when trying to resolve "@iconify-icons/cryptocurrency"
Error: Can't resolve '@iconify-icons/cryptocurrency' in '/sandbox'
    at getPackageRootDirectory (/sandbox/node_modules/next-transpile-modules/src/next-transpile-modules.js:87:11)
    at Array.map (<anonymous>)
    at generateModulesPaths (/sandbox/node_modules/next-transpile-modules/src/next-transpile-modules.js:99:33)

To conclude, transpiling the module is the way I'm trying to achieve the main goal. It might not be necessary.

    Here is a few things I would check: node version, npm version, the way you are importing the library. Do a sinple import and then see what it is returning before being more specific in the import command. Also check what is returns before exporting.

    I would also recommend you use next-transpile-modules directly. Commented Mar 24, 2021 at 15:53

The way the @iconify-icons/cryptocurrency library is exported means you need to transpile each icon package you use individually.

const withTM = require("next-transpile-modules")([
  "@iconify-icons/cryptocurrency/usdt"
]);

module.exports = withTM();
