Attempting to import the Node standard library module "url" #33

Closed vishesh774 closed 5 years ago

What?

I am trying to use the chatkit-server in a react-native app along with expo. During the dev running itself, i get the following compilation error:

The package at "node_modules/@pusher/platform-node/target/base_client.js" attempted to import the Node standard library module "url". It failed because React Native does not include the Node standard library. Read more at https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/introduction/faq.html#can-i-use-nodejs-packages-with-expo

Can someone help me along with this?

Suggested improvements

This SDK isn't intended to be used as part of a client app. It relies on an instance's key being provided, which must remain secret. So having that on a client app isn't really a viable option.

That said I'd be interested to hear what the use case is for wanting to use this SDK as part of your react native app?

Closing as stale. Feel free to elaborate though @vishesh774, if you'd still like to
