Issue that arise when using a webpack

[MichaelKim20]

I love sodium-javascript. And I'm using it so well.
I met a problem like this. Please solve this problem.

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'worker_threads' in '/node_modules/sodium-javascript'
@ ./node_modules/sodium-javascript/memory.js 3:50-80
@ ./node_modules/sodium-javascript/index.js

Sorry to hear you're bumping into problems with this. If you're able to apply a small patch to that file, maybe you could check whether an approach like this would work?

What the funky require line does above is bust browserify's static require resolution, but I guess webpack goes a bit beyond that. That module is not supposed to be loaded in a browser setting, but is a "hack" to get a place to throw Buffers away, in the same way that sodium-native's sodium_free detaches the buffer

Yes, it works well.
I have confirmed that it works without any problems with the web browser (Firefox, Safari, Chrome).
And the loading speed is much faster.
Thank you.
