I'm trying to use FaunaDB in an Ionic project, but a problem has arisen that I don't know how to solve.

I simply created a new project and installed the driver:

ionic start --type=angular my-app blank

npm i faunadb

Then, I instantiate FaunaDB.Cliente:

import * as FaunaDB from 'faunadb';

const client = new FaunaDB.Client({
  secret: environment.faunadb.secret,
  keepAlive: false,
});

Works well in development! But when I build for production, using this command:

ionic build --prod

And the following error happens:

ERROR in ../node_modules/faunadb/src/Client.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'http' in 'D:\Workspace\www\fanstore\workspace\node_modules\faunadb\src'

I know nothing about ionic but it looks like you are going to use fauna from client-side, not from the server? In docs, they suggest to include client-side version directly via CDN https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/drivers/javascript#browsers maybe it just doesn't work as expected via your bundler. I see it complains "Field 'browser' doesn't contain a valid alias configuration" it means package.json was not configured as bundler expects. Actually there is no such field at all: https://github.com/fauna/faunadb-js/blob/master/package.json So, if ionic allows it, you can download browser build from CDN, put it to the static folder in ionic project (I believe it should be possible) and include this script directly in your main HTML page or find another way how ionic will let you do it.

P.S. and also maybe it's a good idea to raise issue in fauna client repo about package.json not configured properly.

    Thanks! Your suggestion to use the CDN file worked! It didn't look as elegant as an NPM package, but it worked beautifully!!! Another solution, not very elegant, that I found was to return the package version to 2.8.0. Until this version everything worked very well. – Alex Oliveira Apr 06 '20 at 13:28
