未捕获的错误：找不到模块'_process'（JavaScript / Browserify）

Question

I am using browserify to create a bundle of my javascript file, which resulted in an error saying it could not find fs. To combat this I was told to use --no-builtins

Now I am getting an error message 'Cannot find module '_process'. As the code was auto generated, I do not know how to fix this

My javascript file reads in a document which has been uploaded, then queries a mysql database

Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

If you get errors about _process with --no-builtins, that means that your app uses some of the Node builtins, so it must be bundled without that flag.

My javascript file reads in a document which has been uploaded, then queries a mysql database

Unfortunately, that is not something that is possible in the browser. Querying a MySQL database can only be done on the server, and reading a file using fs must also only be done in Node.js. In browserify, you can load documents over HTTP using fetch , but the document has to be publically accessible or be made available through an API.
