Can run with ESM bundler like ViteJS? about browser-level

[bitburnerz]

Ok. I managed to get webpack-starter to work with browser-level directly. Thank you!

As long as the bundler converts CommonJS modules, it should work. I don't know about Vite, but check out this webpack example for comparison: https://github.com/Level/webpack-starter.

With Vite/Rollup you may need something like https://github.com/FredKSchott/rollup-plugin-polyfill-node for events.

I noticed webpack-starter is using "level" instead of "browser-level". I tried changing that but then could not get it to compile anymore. Is there something wrong with my approach? Maybe I need to use "level" instead of "browser-level", in which case, what purpose does "browser-level" serve?

[vweevers]

level is a convenience package without any code of itself. It exports classic-level in Node.js, or browser-level in browsers (if the bundler respects the browser field). If you're only targeting browsers, then browser-level is all you need.

It seems weird that a module for browser depends on nodejs package, now I solved it by alias configuration, but it still feels weird.
