How to fix Google API error "Cannot destructure property 'HTTP2_HEADER_CONTENT_ENCODING'"

This code, paraphrased straight from Google Store application-specific data:

import
{
    google,   
    drive_v3, 
    Auth,     
    Common,   
} from 'googleapis';
// or even like this: const {google} = require('googleapis');

gives me this error

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'HTTP2_HEADER_CONTENT_ENCODING' of 'http2.constants' as it is undefined.

This helper file will be attached to a button in a Vue.js web app running in the browser, not in Node.js on the server.

How can I fix this please?
