Problems when building with vite

[sureshvv]

Could not load crypto (imported by node_modules/pouchdb-quick-search/lib/pouch-utils.js): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'crypto'

Create a new vite app and add the line import PouchDB from 'pouchdb-browser' to the file main.js

npm init vite-app testApp
cd testApp
npm i && npm i pouchdb-browser && npm i pouchdb-quick-search
npm run dev

After a bit of work, I got this plugin working for my project. See the pouchdb-quick-search branch. I had to submodule https://github.com/arc-archive/pouchdb-quick-search after making a few changes (fixing the md5 error), buuuuut it works in vite. (I haven't merged it into main yet since I'm thinking about using a different library - but that would require a ton of work I'm not prepared to do.) Note that I also had to import it as a tgz - adding it as a directory reference failed for reasons I don't understand. I suck at Javascript.

Thanks @AlexErrant

I tried your changes. But it still fails in the same way.

I did a diff of pouch_utils in your branch vs the main branch and the only difference was the md5 library imported.

How did you deal with the crypto dependency?

I commented it out:

I don't use it in node, so this was good enough for me.

I was looking at https://github.com/arc-archive/pouchdb-quick-search

Will check again. Thanks for the tip. I also need only browser functionality.
