webpack compile fail, require('fs'), module not found

[li-yinan]

viz does check running environment. when running in node envrionment viz require('fs').
I use viz in browser, but the require('fs') is still there, webpack can't find fs module and compile fail
How can I use viz with webpack?

I was looking at this recently and found two possible solutions:

1. Ask webpack to replace "fs", etc. with empty objects.

  // ...

  node: {
    fs: "empty",
    path: "empty",
    crypto: "empty"
  },

 // ...

It looks like Viz.js could use the "browser" field in package.json to do this: https://github.com/defunctzombie/package-browser-field-spec

2. Use script-loader:

import vizScriptLoader from 'script-loader!viz.js';

The next release will include a "browser" property in package.json that appears to address this problem.
