Can't resolve './aes' error when using @dropbox/sign
Node: 18.17.1
@dropbox/sign: 1.1.3
Hi,
when I try to use the sdk I get the following error:
- error ./node_modules/@dropbox/sign/dist/api.js
Module not found: Can't resolve './aes'
The error comes from this simple piece of code:
import * as DropboxSign from '@dropbox/sign';
const signatureRequestApi = new DropboxSign.SignatureRequestApi();
Would be very greatful for any help on this.
Best,

Hi there,
Just a few questions, for you:
- Did you install the DropboxSign API using npm?
- Are you using a front-end library, such as React?
- Are you using a framework such as Vue or NextJS?
Hi,
to answer your questions.
1) I am using npm 9.6.7
2) I'm triggering this code from an api route in Next.js.3) I'm using Next.js 13.4.19
FYI: I got the same behavior using node 20 as 18.- DB-Des
Hello,
The reason you are seeing that error is because the Dropbox Sign Node SDK uses Node.js specific modules, or modules that are not available on the client side.
You can address that issue by looking into NextJS'

Hope this helps!
