react-native Buffer is not defined
When trying to use this library with react-native it throws the following error saying Buffer is not defined.
I know I can install buffer as a dependency but I would like to avoid adding another dependency to my project when we aren't using Buffer at all.
I resolved the error by adding the following to my code before I used deepExtend.
global.Buffer = global.Buffer || class Buffer {}
if you actually need the functionality for another library, install buffer as a dependency
global.Buffer = global.Buffer || require('buffer').Buffer
this also affects client side code that doesn't have the Buffer polyfill. this recently caused issues in https://github.com/uber/streetscape.gl/pull/167
the fix should just be to check for buffer existing using typeof Buffer !== 'undefined' before using Buffer
looks liked, based on https://github.com/unclechu/node-deep-extend/pull/27 This module is not actively maintained
