Using with Vite: Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined #8738
Description
Hi! 👋
Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂
Today I used patch-package to patch [email protected] for the project I'm working on.
I'm using TypeORM in a Vite based project, and when building the project in production mode, I get the following error
Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
which is thrown from BrowserPlatformTools:150
I understand that this is not necessarily a common use case, and I'm not sure if this change would break other clients, so if that's the case feel free to close my issue, and I'll just carry on using the patch-package workaround.
Here is the diff that solved my problem:
