I am attempting to make a webpack 5 build process to create a react component library I just had a couple of things cannot seem to get working.
#1) The webpack build command works fine, and when using the inline-source-map option I can SEE the data URL embeded in the outputted build file but when I ever I attempt to publish and test this library on NPM I always get obfuscated errors without original lines of code so I can't even tell where the errors are; what else am I missing to activate source-maps? I am using Chrome dev tools and it doesn't even tell me a source map is available for that code...
#2) Another issue I am having is after building this with webpack into the dist folder; I start another CRA test app and try to pull components out of the built library but all I get are these errors.
./src/dist/index.js
Line 1:1: Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression no-unused-expressions
Line 1:112: 'define' is not defined no-undef
Line 1:123: 'define' is not defined no-undef
Line 1:190: Unexpected use of 'self' no-restricted-globals
Line 1:466: Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression no-unused-expressions
Line 1:631: Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression no-unused-expressions
I am aware webpack 5 stopped bundling polyfills for Node but shouldn't this code run if I place it in the src directory of a CRA application? This is bundled code shouldn't it work in the browser/ in another React application? I targeted UMD so I thought it would work in this environment
here is all the necessary info

Button.js (sample component)
import React from 'react'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
const Button = ({message = 'Hello world'}) => (
<button>{message}</button>
)
Button.propTypes = {
message: PropTypes.string.isRequired
}
export default Button
Build entry point (index.js)
export { default as Button } from "./components/Button";
