Issue running hypercore 11.x in browser

Open fix opened this issue 3 months ago • 1 comments

Looks like that hypercore 11.x is tightly coupled to rocksdb-native. Is this intended?

if running in browser i get this error:

hypercore.js?v=f6bcbb36:38819 Uncaught ReferenceError: __filename is not defined

Also hitting a wall downgrading to hypercore 10.x with replications as per this unsolved issue #452 :

Did i miss something?

the __filename thing is your bundler, but yes it needs a holepunchto/hypercore-storage compat storage. i dont think we have a browser backed one atm (although one can be made)
