Bundling pouchDB js library in Aurelia v1 app using requirejs

Question

I'm facing errors while bundling the pouchDB js library in an Aurelia v1 app using the built-in requirejs bundler\/module loader.

1. <\/li><\/ol>

   <\/li><\/ol>
    cd test au run --env dev --port 9000 --watch<\/code><\/pre>
    The minimal aurelia app successfully shows up at localhost:9000
   
                   
               
               
    
                
   <\/li><\/ol>
   <\/li><\/ol>
   import PouchDB from "pouchdb-browser"; export class App { message = 'Hello World!'; constructor() { this.db = new PouchDB("test"); } }<\/code><\/pre>
    As soon as the pouchDB class is imported in the project, the Aurelia bundler kicks-in and re-bundles all the added dependencies without throwing errors
    I also tried to install individual pouchDB packages (pouchdb-core, pouchdb-adapter-idb) instead of the preset package (pouchdb-browser) but I'm still getting the same error.
    Can someone please help?

I had used pouchdb-browser with Aurelia v1, it had worked previously, although I have not tried it recently. However, I did have to add the following to main.js to get it to work:

//to make pouchdb-browser work
import process from 'process';
  window.process = process;
  import {Buffer} from 'buffer';
  window.Buffer = Buffer;
