Webpack can not use __dirname?

Question

I am trying to use node-postgres to hook my app up to Postgres. The code I use is:

import React from \'react\';
import pg from \'pg\';
import fs from \'fs\';         


        

Answer 1

In that case, add this to your webpack config:

{
  node: {
    __dirname: true
  }
}

This will tell webpack to replace __dirname instances with the path of the module. This path relative to context
