This dependency was not found: fs

Adding:

node: {
  fs: 'empty'
},

to my webpack config seems to make the error go away.

I believe the emscripten runtime will try requireing fs but if it is not there then it will use the in-memory filesystem. On Browserify I believe there's a default empty fs, so I've never saw that error.

Thank you for solving the problem for Webpack users. I should add this to the usage instructions.

Ok, I've added a note about it, but I don't actually know anything about Webpack, so I've linked to this issue: aaf5996 (if you think this should be improved somehow, please let me know or send a PR).

For anyone else, like me, hitting this error from inside NextJS (which uses Webpack 5 by default), I was able to fix it by following this comment, and putting the relevent configuration in my next.config.js: vercel/next.js#7755 (comment)

Thanks! :)

On webpack 5, this package tries to load a few node dependencies:

• crypto
• path
• fs

Do you know whether excluding crypto, for example, could cause issues?
