I ran into the same issue with @node-rs/argon2. I could fix it by marking the package as external in my bundler.

Vite

// vite.config.ts

export default defineConfig({
  optimizeDeps: {
    exclude: ["@node-rs/argon2"],
  },
});

esbuild

import * as esbuild from 'esbuild'

await esbuild.build({
  external: ["@node-rs/argon2"]
  // other options …
})

I too faced the same issue on package @node-rs/crc32-darwin-arm64 but didn't see any fixes.

@hpohlmeyer marking it as external will exclude the particular module from the build file, which when you try to run externally without any node_modules ( copy for example dist folder to somewhere and run it), throws an error as the module is not found.

Error: Cannot find module '@node-rs/crc32-darwin-arm64'

Yes, but if you deploy your production dependencies along-side your bundle this works fine. If you want a single bundled file, you are right, this approach definitely does not work.
