Out of the box Bug. Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'process/browser'

Hi,

Today I came to know about web3.storage and wanted to test a file upload feature to store the date in IPFS. But out of the box, after calling the library using my react app I go the below error.

Failed to compile.

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'process/browser' in '/home/user/Documents/Github/App-Frontend/node_modules/streaming-iterables/dist'
Did you mean 'browser.js'?
BREAKING CHANGE: The request 'process/browser' failed to resolve only because it was resolved as fully specified
(probably because the origin is strict EcmaScript Module, e. g. a module with javascript mimetype, a '*.mjs' file, or a '*.js' file where the package.json contains '"type": "module"').
The extension in the request is mandatory for it to be fully specified.
Add the extension to the request.

webpack compiled with 2 errors

Any resolution or workaround will be heart fully appreciated. Thanks!

I am having the same issue. Import works fine, but as soon I am trying to create an object with:

const web3StorageClient = new Web3Storage({ token : web3Token });

I get the error.

I assume that this library should not be used in a frontend? After checking the docs again docs I saw that nodejs is a minimum requirement.
