Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'net' in 'node_modules/stompjs/lib'

Question

Got an issue where a stompJS-lib was not found, upon which I got the following error message:

Module not found: Error: Can\'t resolve \'net\' in \'/../../../.../

To expand a bit on Arthur Costa answer, if you're using NextJS, you can add a configuration in your configuration file to prevent this issue for specific imports.

Add those lines in a file named next.config.js in your root project folder:

module.exports = {
    webpack: (config, { isServer }) => {
        if (!isServer) {
            config.node = {
                net: 'empty'
            };
        }

        return config;
    }
}

In case the problem appears with other built-in modules, you can add those alongside net too.
