Convex Action build error: could not resolve 'crypto-js'

I tried to

import CryptoJS from "crypto-js";

import CryptoJS from "crypto-js";

import CryptoJS from "crypto-js";

import CryptoJS from "crypto-js"; in a custom convex action

But on

npx convex dev

npx convex dev

I got this error (which I think comes from esbuild but I am not familiar with what is happening underlying Convex)

How can I mark this dep as external in my next.js project? I have installed the package from npm install.

Thanks for helping!
