Issue with NPM dependencies which require('fs');

[joserobjr]

When I try to add dependency to windows-cpu as in:

kotlinFrontend {
    npm {
        dependency "windows-cpu"
        devDependency "karma"     // development dependency
    }

    webpackBundle {
        bundleName = "main"
    }

The bundle task fails:

> Task :parent-projects:webpack-bundle FAILED
path-to-project\build\node_modules\windows-cpu'
 @ C:/path-to-project/build/node_modules/windows-cpu/index.js 9:11-24
 @ ./node-manager.js

The 9:11-24 is highlighting this method invocation:

require('fs')

It does not happens to the other requirements.

I googled about it and found this issue with webpack:
webpack-contrib/css-loader#447

It suggests us to add:

node: {
  fs: 'empty'
}

And recent messages suggests to add --config:
webpack-contrib/css-loader#447 (comment)

How can I achieve that with kotlin-frontend-plugin?

I found a solution:
pugjs/pug-loader#8 (comment)

To apply this configuration I had to create a directory named webpack.config.d next to the src directory (similarly to how it's done in this example) and place a javascript there with any name containing this line:

config.target = 'async-node';

By the way,

I also managed to add:

node: {
  fs: 'empty'
}

to the config by using the lines below inside the webpack.config.d directory:

config.node = {
  fs: 'empty'
}

But that just caused the module to load an empty module. It's functions and classes were not available. So I don't recommend doing it.
