How do you exclude the path marked as external from the bundle?

I am encountering an error while trying to use a package that I have published to a repository. The error message states that the package name ... couldn't be resolved when I try to import it into another repository where I have installed the package. Here's the error:

X [ERROR] Could not resolve "@.../..."

    ../../node_modules/.../.../src/.../....ts:6:7:
      6 │ import "@.../...";
        ╵        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  To eliminate this error, you can mark the path "@.../..." as external, which will exclude it from the bundle.

X [ERROR] Could not resolve "@.../..."

    ../../node_modules/.../.../src/.../....ts:7:7:
      7 │ import "@.../...";
        ╵        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is there a way to modify the URL so the package can be accessed?

The error message you are seeing indicates that the package name couldn't be resolved when you try to import it into another repository where you have installed the package. This could be due to a missing dependency or a corrupt installation. You can try installing the dependency in your project using npm or yarn. Sometimes it might even be due to a corrupt installation. If you are still encountering issues after trying these steps, you can try running npm cache clean --force and then reinstalling the package. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

You can fix this error by making sure that the imported package is correctly referenced. Assuming that the package is installed correctly, you should check the following: 1. Make sure that the path to the package is correct. 2. Double-check the spelling of the package name and path. 3. Check that the package is exported correctly (i.e. has an entry point like index.js or package.json file). 4. If the package is scoped, ensure that you are using the correct scope name when importing. If none of the above approaches work, you can mark the package as external to exclude it from the bundle. This can be done in your webpack, rollup or another bundler configuration file or in the package.json file, depending on the tool you are using.
