Is it possible to make it run without node (in browser)?

[f-person]

Hi! I'm building a browser extension which displays lyrics from Genius in another website. When I try to import this library I get the following error: TypeError: $bGKbb.versions.node is undefined. It will be nice to make this module run in browsers too.

It's not possible (considering cors). And that error doesn't seem to come from this module's code. I should be possible to use this on browsers afaik.

It happens whenever I try to require("genius-lyrics").

considering cors

It might be possible to use in a background script (not sure, however, need to check)

I'm using https://github.com/fregante/browser-extension-template for the extension BTW

Yup, it's allowed in Chromium (quoting https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/extension-content-script-fetches):

tl;dr: To improve security, cross-origin fetches will soon be disallowed from content scripts in Chrome Extensions. Such requests can be made from extension background pages instead, and relayed to content scripts when needed.

@f-person Do you know where the error comes from? It might be from some dependencies this package is relying on.

Unfortunately, no

Unfortunately, no

It should be from somewhere else, there is no such line in this package accessing those properties.

Yup, I grepped it too :(

@zyrouge hi

I guess this is the end of the conversation. I'll close this issue since it's stale.
