# EventEmitter Polyfill Fix - SyntaxError Resolved ✅

**Issue**: `The requested module '/node_modules/events/events.js?v=b19d0a94' does not provide an export named 'EventEmitter'`

**Root Cause**: EventEmitter is a Node.js built-in that needs to be polyfilled for browser use

**Solution**: Added EventEmitter polyfill and proper Vite configuration

---

## ✅ Fix Applied

### 1. Installed Events Package
```bash
npm install --save-dev events
```

### 2. Updated `vite.config.ts`
- Added `events` to resolve alias
- Included `events` in `optimizeDeps.include`
- Removed `events` from `optimizeDeps.exclude`

### 3. Updated `src/main.tsx`
- Imported EventEmitter from 'events'
- Added EventEmitter to `window.EventEmitter`
- Added EventEmitter to `globalThis.EventEmitter`

### 4. Updated `src/vite-env.d.ts`
- Added TypeScript declarations for EventEmitter
- Extended Window interface

---

## 🔄 What This Does

1. **EventEmitter Polyfill**: Provides EventEmitter API in browser environment
2. **Vite Alias**: Maps 'events' import to the events package
3. **Global Assignment**: Makes EventEmitter available globally for dependencies

---

## 🚀 Server Status

- ✅ Events package installed
- ✅ Vite config updated
- ✅ main.tsx updated with polyfill
- ✅ TypeScript declarations updated
- ✅ Cache cleared
- ✅ Server restarted

## 📝 Technical Details

### Why EventEmitter is Needed
Many Web3 libraries use EventEmitter for:
- Event handling
- Observable patterns
- Stream processing
- WebSocket connections

### Browser Compatibility
- EventEmitter is not natively available in browsers
- Must be polyfilled using the `events` npm package
- Vite needs to be configured to handle it properly

---

## ✅ Expected Result

After this fix:
- ✅ No more "does not provide an export named 'EventEmitter'" errors
- ✅ EventEmitter available globally in browser
- ✅ Web3 libraries work correctly
- ✅ Application loads successfully

---

## 🔍 Verify Fix

Open browser console and check:
```javascript
console.log(EventEmitter) // Should show EventEmitter constructor
console.log(window.EventEmitter) // Should show EventEmitter constructor
```
