This library is just a bundling format for ordinary JS modules that can be represented as strings. If you want to be able to import binary .node files, you need to define an options.fallback function.

The function should take three arguments:

  1. the required module identifier
  2. the parent module identifier
  3. an error object that should be thrown if no fallback can be found

If successful, the options.fallback function should return whatever require(id) would return in native Node.
