Errors when attempting to use the library within an ElectonJS preload script

[mantzaris]

I am using this library within an ElectronJS preload script.

Error: Cannot find module '@tensorflow/tfjs-node'

I am attempting to use the library from the preload script via:

const faceapi = require('@vladmandic/face-api');

Is this behavior expected since I should not need tfjs-node since I am not using this within the nodejs context.

[vladmandic]

just the fact that you're using require means its within node context already as browser does not have require statements.
i suggest to take a look at https://github.com/vladmandic/human-electron for an example, its using my different library human instead of faceapi, but its the same tfjs backend and same concepts when it comes to electronjs loading/bundling
