I'm getting an error with a npm module I'm trying to use

This code cannot be transpiled. import.meta. Use --chunk_output_type=ES_MODULES to allow passthrough support.

unfortunately no, the closure compiler is very picky about such things. can't do anything about that except using a different bundler https://shadow-cljs.github.io/docs/UsersGuide.html#js-provider-external

Okay thanks, looks like I'll have go that route. Is this the route you'd recommend if there's basically just one external library that I need?

Is there something weird about the way this library is structured that makes it not importable by shadow-cljs? https://github.com/ReactTooltip/react-tooltip I get this error when building: The required JS dependency "react-tooltip" is not available, it was required by "demo.cljs". Here is a simple repro build: https://github.com/mochi-cards/shadow-cljs--react-tooltip

yes, it only supports the module exports specified in package.json, and has no fallback to the "old ways". shadow-cljs does not support that yet
