Looking at the installed node_modules, the ipfs package is indeed missing.

Steps to reproduce the error:

$ npm install
$ npm run bundle

That's weird, but it's happening to me too.

I tried changing the package.json dependency to "ipfs": "0.29.3", deleted and reinstalled the node_modules and then everything worked as expected 🤔

I'll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting it!

@fsdiogo thanks for confirming!

I guess to get this quickly out of our way, we should PR the dependency version. Did find anything else?

It seems to work by upgrading to 0.30.0, so I've made a PR changing that! Thanks 👍
