Require @grpc/grpc-js fails on httpyac.config.js

[mniak]

I have a server whose certificate name does not match the dns name. So I have been using the following code inside the .http file to skip cert verification:

{{@request
const grpc = require('@grpc/grpc-js');
request.channelCredentials = grpc.ChannelCredentials.createSsl(null, null, null, { 
  checkServerIdentity: () => undefined,
});
}}

But since there are various files, I was trying to move this config to a hook into the httpyac.config.js file. But when requireing '@grpc/grpc-js' there, it complains that the module could not be found. That shouldn't be the case, since the module indeed is already somewhere in order to work during the request.

@mniak The simplest solution is to simply install the dependency yourself. I currently load the file using module.require. But I can't inject my own packages via this API, or I don't know at the moment. I'll check what options I have, but I'll need time for that as I don't know the API very well.
