What are @esbuild-plugins/node-modules-polyfill's main functionalities?

Polyfill Node.js core modules

This feature allows you to polyfill Node.js core modules like 'fs', 'path', etc., so that they can be used in environments like the browser. The code sample demonstrates how to use the NodeModulesPolyfillPlugin with esbuild to bundle an application.

const esbuild = require('esbuild');
const { NodeModulesPolyfillPlugin } = require('@esbuild-plugins/node-modules-polyfill');

esbuild.build({
  entryPoints: ['app.js'],
  bundle: true,
  outfile: 'out.js',
  plugins: [NodeModulesPolyfillPlugin()]
}).catch(() => process.exit(1));
