@esbuild-plugins/node-globals-polyfill
Advanced tools
@esbuild-plugins/node-globals-polyfill is an npm package that provides polyfills for Node.js global variables and modules, making it easier to use Node.js-specific code in environments like the browser where these globals are not natively available.
Buffer Polyfill
This feature provides a polyfill for the Node.js Buffer global, allowing you to use Buffer in environments where it is not natively available, such as the browser.
const { Buffer } = require('buffer');
const buf = Buffer.from('Hello, world!', 'utf-8');
console.log(buf.toString('hex'));
Process Polyfill
This feature provides a polyfill for the Node.js process global, enabling you to use process-related functionalities in non-Node.js environments.
const process = require('process');
console.log(`Current working directory: ${process.cwd()}`);
Global Polyfill
This feature provides a polyfill for the Node.js global object, allowing you to define and access global variables in environments where the global object is not natively available.
global.myGlobalVar = 'Hello, global!';
console.log(global.myGlobalVar);
node-libs-browser is a package that provides polyfills for Node.js core modules for use in the browser. It is similar to @esbuild-plugins/node-globals-polyfill in that it allows Node.js-specific code to run in the browser, but it focuses more on providing polyfills for core modules rather than global variables.
browserify is a tool that allows you to write Node.js-style modules that compile for use in the browser. It includes polyfills for Node.js core modules and globals, similar to @esbuild-plugins/node-globals-polyfill, but it also provides a complete module bundling solution.
webpack is a module bundler that can be configured to provide polyfills for Node.js globals and core modules. While it is a more comprehensive tool compared to @esbuild-plugins/node-globals-polyfill, it can achieve similar results through its configuration and plugins.
