Vanilla javascript

[damianham]

Why is this dependent on Node if all it is doing is making sending requests to the API ?

It should be a plain vanilla javascript library so it can be used by any javascript framework e.g. a React website.

Good Morning @damianham

JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, Angular) are made in Nodejs, so this package works perfectly on them.

Good morning Gerson.

That is a big fat No my friend. This package works for Nodejs only. For example it has a dependency on dotenv which requires fs module, e.g. // https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv/blob/master/lib/main.js const fs = require('fs') const path = require('path') const os = require('os') So my suggestion is to remove all unnecessary package dependencies and use vanilla javascript only that is independent of the environment in which it is used. Most of the work to do this should be limited to https://github.com/epayco/epayco-node/blob/master/lib/resources/index.js, e.g. ` require('dotenv').config(); // fs dependency /**

• Module dependencies */ var request = require('superagent'), // requires a polyfill and is only used for 1 API call from what I can see CryptoJS = require('crypto-js'), EpaycoError = require('./errors'), debug = require('debug')('epayco:api'); const fetch = require('node-fetch'); // there might be a clue in the name with this package const getenv = require('getenv'); // node.js helper ` Javascript frameworks like React etc. may use Node.js devDependencies during the build phase but at runtime in browsers, only packages that work in browsers are available.

Good morning @damianham

Your suggestion will be taken for future updates, although this package is meant to be used in backend
