This is the same issue when I require('socket.io').

npm fs is a security holder package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/fs

Recommend socket.io move to file-system or another library instead.

Are you using webpack?

In your Webpack Config, add: node: { fs: 'empty' }.

Hi! Is there something we can fix? Could you provide more context please?

[Dwood15]

@darrachequesne anything you can do to make it so when running webpack, we don't need node: { fs: 'empty' } ?

[darrachequesne]

@Dwood15 it seems { fs: 'empty' } was not needed in our webpack example, could you please check?
