ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND when compiling for Node.js

SQLite WASM does not support Node.js since its storage mechanism is implemented with the Origin Private File System API, which is not supported by Node.js. I think SQLite WASM may be working on a second storage implementation with Node.js support, but for now, it's a browser-only solution.

Depending on what your VSCode extension is meant to do, you may still be able to use SQLocal as long as you do it in a context where the code is being run by VSCode's Chromium engine, not Node.js, such as in a webview.

Vite does let me build the project, however I'd love to use SQLocal in projects that use fs and other node modules that cannot be built for the browser

[DallasHoff]

Am I correct in understanding that you are trying to run SQLocal in Node.js? SQLocal is for running a SQLite database in the browser. It does not work on the server side.

I'm trying to use sqlite in a vscode extension and those run in node. Most sqlite solutions use native modules which may create issues with compatibility and since sqlocal builds to wasm I hoped it would be a better option
