BREAKING CHANGE: webpack < 5 used to include polyfills for node.js core modules by default.
This is no longer the case. Verify if you need this module and configure a polyfill for it.

Something like that.

AH, right. This has nothing to do with this plugin, but there are way people have managed to go around this issue.

What you need to do is basically copy ktor's strategy and rely on dynamic types and loading the dependency via js("require('fs')") and checking for window == undefined beforehand to detect browser environment. For some node dependencies you could find browser polyfills.
