We are in the process of converting our Kibana 7.10.2 custom plugins into Kibana 7.16.3 custom plugins. We use the `jsPDF` module for creating pdfs of our dashboards for downloading. We are having issues using `jsPDF` in Kibana 7.16.3. We tracked it down to the `fflate` module that gets installed with `jsPDF`. For some reason `fflate` only has a couple functions defined within it when installed through Kibana. So `jsPDF` is trying to call a function from within `fflate` that is not there. Through some googling, we have found this message on the `fflate` readme file:

`If your environment does not support bundling:` (then import fflate like this)  
`import * as fflate from 'fflate/esm/browser.js'`

If we modify the `jsPDF` js code to load `fflate` like what is listed above, then jsPDF works as it should. However, we don't want to keep a local copy of `jsPDF` and modify it to load `fflate` in this way. We just want to do an npm install of `jsPDF`. Does anyone know why the bundling seems to not be working properly in Kibana 7.16.3 custom plugins? Or if there is a setting we need to change to support this? We didn't have this issue with Kibana 7.10.2.

We're still having issues with this. Any one have any suggestions on why Kibana 7.16.3 doesn't seem to be bundling node modules?
