Do you see the directory swiper in your node_modules? And does it have the react directory in there?

yup

if i just do [`"swiper" :refer..`] it knows the directory is there but obv not what i want

In package.json you can see an array under the key "exports". There, you can see this entry: "./react": "./react/swiper-react.js", So, I'd try adding /swiper-react to that initial import.

(at least shadow-cljs adds .js automatically)

works thank u!
