Webpack v5 compatibility issue (with workaround)

With Webpack v5 I failed to run plotly.js, it requires additional stream and assert libs. The complete problem description is available here https://github.com/quasarframework/quasar/issues/11229

As I was pointed Webpack v5 removed the Nodejs polyfills for the web client builds. It seems that plotly.js for the web client rely on Nodejs API , and I get errors saying that some packages are missing. These probably need to be addressed by the plotly.js communty.

For users, if you just want to run your app/website (with a bit of risk), then you can manually install node-polyfill-webpack-plugin which solves the problem.

Inizia riproducendo una build del client web di plotly.js con Webpack v5 e consulta l’issue di Quasar collegata per tutti i dettagli completi dell’errore. Analizza le librerie stream e assert mancanti segnalate e confronta il risultato con la soluzione alternativa node-polyfill-webpack-plugin. L’issue non indica alcun file o test del repository e la correzione desiderata non è definita oltre alla risoluzione del problema di compatibilità.
