Shims are not available in NPM package about filer HOT 8 CLOSED

@bcheidemann ah, I see. We need to update https://github.com/filerjs/filer/blob/master/package.json#L77-L81 and potentially the build script to copy things where they are expected when you npm install filer. If you want to do that, that would be great.

I've shipped v1.3.1 to npm, do you want to try that? https://github.com/filerjs/filer/releases/tag/v1.3.1

Hello @humphd,

As far as I can see, the shims are still missing in the NPM library v1.3.1.
Also, I quickly checked the history and I could not find any commit that would have fixed this problem.

@humphd the "shims" directory in the root of the project needs to be released to NPM. Could you advise on what changes need to be made to facilitate this? Happy to put up a PR.

@thomas-jakemeyn this is the workaround until the files are released to NPM:

1. Copy the 'shims' directory from this repo into your project. This can be wherever you want but for arguments sake lets say you copy the contents to src/filer/shims.
2. You then need to update the following imports:

// src/filer/shims/fs.js
// replace
const { FileSystem } = require('../src/index');
// with
const { FileSystem } = require('filer');

// src/filer/shims/path.js
// replace
const { path } = require('../src/index');
// with
const { path } = require('filer');

// src/filer/shims/providers/default.js
// replace
const { Default } = require('../../src/providers/index');
// with
const { Default } = require('filer/src/providers/index');

// src/filer/shims/providers/indexeddb.js
// replace
const IndexedDB = require('../../src/providers/indexeddb');
// with
const IndexedDB = require('filer/src/providers/indexeddb');

// src/filer/shims/providers/memory.js
// replace
const Memory = require('../../src/providers/memory');
// with
const Memory = require('filer/src/providers/memory');

3. Instantiate the FilerWebpackPlugin class with the following options

// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new filer.FilerWebpackPlugin({
      shimsDir: '<rootDir>/src/filer/shims`,
    }),
  ],
}

This should work but I haven't tested it and I appreciate it's a lot of effort to go to. Hopefully it will be possible to release a new version of filer which includes the shims and webpack folders soon.

Should be fixed by v1.4.1

Confirmed, shims are now present :)
