npm package giving error

[waqas-mehmood-pk]

inside the npm package src/node/index.js file very first line requires the fs npm package but fs package not exists. can you please tell me about this require('fs').

[captn3m0]

This is the standard node fs module: https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_file_system

Error on my side:

ERROR  Failed to compile with 1 errors11:56:49 AM

This dependency was not found:

* fs in ./~/ifsc/src/node/index.js

To install it, you can run: npm install --save fs

But I have installed fs npm package, here is my package.json dependencies:

  "dependencies": {
    "babel-plugin-transform-runtime": "^6.23.0",
    "chart.js": "^2.7.1",
    "datatables.net": "^1.10.16",
    "datatables.net-dt": "^1.10.16",
    "fs": "0.0.1-security",
    "ifsc": "^1.0.11",
    "select2": "^4.0.5",
    "vue-chartjs": "^2.8.7",
    "vue-good-table": "^1.16.0",
    "vue-search-select": "^2.4.0",
    "vue-strap": "^1.1.40",
    "vue-template-compiler": "^2.5.7",
    "vuejs-datepicker": "git+https://github.com/paaysay/vuejs-datepicker.git"
  }

Please remove the fs package from your npm setup and try again. The fs module is part of node and is not required to be installed.

The package seems to be all fine: https://runkit.com/embed/hyy84qcdmjkl

Thanks @captn3m0 Even I install fs package or remove from my package.json, in both cases error occurred.

Are you using it with webpack? This package works with node.

[waqas-mehmood-pk]

Yes, I am using this with webpack, is it possible or not with webpack?

[captn3m0]

This is a Node.JS only package as of now, since the package does offline validation over a 300kb file, which you don't want to load over a web browser.

Instead, just make a AJAX request to https://ifsc.razorpay.com/{IFSC} to validate a IFSC code for a much faster method.
