Compilation errors

[ivarnakken]

Hi, @nchaulet! I'm unable to use this library due to the following compilation error:

Compiled with problems:

ERROR in ./node_modules/node-geocoder/lib/error/httperror.js 1:11-26

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'util' in '/home/ivar/Documents/div/hackathon/Code2025/app/node_modules/node-geocoder/lib/error'

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.

If you want to include a polyfill, you need to:
	- add a fallback 'resolve.fallback: { "util": require.resolve("util/") }'
	- install 'util'
If you don't want to include a polyfill, you can use an empty module like this:
	resolve.fallback: { "util": false }

This following was logged in the console:

httperror.js:1 Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'util'

Is this something you've seen before?

I'm using react-scripts v5 and node v16.

Hi @ivarnakken This library is not mean to be used client side only in a nodejs environment.
