Cannot compile:

SDK you're using (please complete the following information):

• xero-node@4.36.0

Describe the bug Browser shows this error message in my react@18.2.0 web app, instead of compiling if I have the following line of code uncomments

import { XeroClient } from "xero-node"

Browser error is:

ERROR in ./node_modules/@panva/asn1.js/lib/asn1/base/node.js 3:4-21
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'assert' in 'C:\dev\j4j\app-02\node_modules\@panva\asn1.js\lib\asn1\base'

BREAKING CHANGE: webpack < 5 used to include polyfills for node.js core modules by default.
This is no longer the case. Verify if you need this module and configure a polyfill for it.

If you want to include a polyfill, you need to:
    - add a fallback 'resolve.fallback: { "assert": require.resolve("assert/") }'
    - install 'assert'
If you don't want to include a polyfill, you can use an empty module like this:
    resolve.fallback: { "assert": false }

Did you mean './assert'?
Requests that should resolve in the current directory need to start with './'.
Requests that start with a name are treated as module requests and resolve within module directories (node_modules, C:\dev\j4j\app-02\node_modules).
If changing the source code is not an option there is also a resolve options called 'preferRelative' which tries to resolve these kind of requests in the current directory too.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. npm install xero-node
2. Add import { XeroClient } from "xero-node" into jsx page at top and save. Commenting out the line and saving gives you a clean compile

Expected behavior No compile errors. Ability to use xero-node functions.

Screenshots See browser compile error above

Additional context

• I have lots of other imports no probs
• Just going off the very first compile message shown above, not sure if this means anything but for this compiler message: Can't resolve 'assert' in 'C:\dev\j4j\app-02\node_modules\@panva\asn1.js\lib\asn1\base, if I go look in the 'base' folder I can see buffer.js, index.js, node.js, and reporter.js -- am I supposed to see assert.js in that folder too??
• Not sure if relevant, but I am not using typescript.

My mistake. Realised code is meant to be called server-side
