Prerequisites

Please answer the following questions for yourself before submitting an issue.

Using jsc8 version 0.16.3
Using Sveltekit version 1.0.0-next.295
Using @sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare-workers version 1.0.0-next.35

Issue Description

No problems running in Sveltekit's dev mode.
But doing a build, which is a pre-requisite for a Wrangler publish I get the following errors:

> Using @sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare-workers
✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "querystring"

    node_modules/jsc8/lib/cjs/connection.js:12:30:
      12 │ const querystring_1 = require("querystring");
         ╵                               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  The package "querystring" wasn't found on the file system but is built into node. Are you trying
  to bundle for node? You can use "platform: 'node'" to do that, which will remove this error.

✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "url"

      3 │ const url_1 = require("url");

  The package "url" wasn't found on the file system but is built into node. Are you trying to bundle
  for node? You can use "platform: 'node'" to do that, which will remove this error.

✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "path"

    node_modules/jsc8/lib/cjs/util/joinPath.web.js:3:21:
      3 │ var path_1 = require("path");
        ╵                      ~~~~~~

  The package "path" wasn't found on the file system but is built into node. Are you trying to
  bundle for node? You can use "platform: 'node'" to do that, which will remove this error.

Steps to Reproduce

Create any simple app that uses jsc8.js and run npm run build or npx svelte-kit build

Current Behavior

Build fails with above mentioned erros

Expected Behavior

Building without errors

@eric-naguras Apologies for the delay. The error is coming from native node modules required by the jsc8 SDK. While it's possible to polyfill these libraries in a browser environment, we highly recommend against doing so. Running the jsc8 library in a browser environment comes with significant risk as your Macrometa credentials would be visible in your source code.

If you're querying data stored in GDN, I'd recommend the two options:

1. Proxy requests to a backend API and query GDN from the server environment. This will ensure that your Macrometa credentials are secure.
2. Use RestQL to query the data you need – you can find out more about RestQL here in our docs.

@nparsons08 Thanks for the reply. I did go for option 2. Seems like an even better way to do things. I have no problems using RestQL.

Awesome! We are here if you need help in the future @eric-naguras. Happy coding!

@nparsons08 So far, I think Macrometa is a great product and a perfect match for serverless. I'm saving up some questions that I will ask later. Even though the documentation is a bit sparse, I don't have much problems using the database.
