Bug/Compatibility: "fractional" library causes ReferenceError in Parcel 2 #474

Hi.

Description: While following the Recipe View implementation, I encountered a persistent Uncaught ReferenceError: Fraction is not defined. This occurred even with the correct named import: import { Fraction } from 'fractional';.

The Issue: It appears the fractional package has compatibility issues with the way Parcel 2 handles scoping and bundling. Even after clearing the .parcel-cache and dist folders, the error persisted.

The Solution: Switching to the fracty library resolved the issue immediately.

npm install fracty

import fracty from 'fracty';

Usage: ${ing.quantity ? fracty(ing.quantity).toString() : ''}

Suggested Action: Consider updating the course resources or the package.json in the starter files to use fracty instead of fractional to avoid this bundling error with Parcel 2.
