How to add an external library (zeromq.js) to the renderer? (electron+webpack+electron forge)

[devzzzero]

(Was #19001)

Hi, I am being hinted that zeromq/zeromq.js#676 might be solvable with configuration changes for webpack.

In the repo, I have webpack.main.config.ts and webpack.renderer.config.ts

I set the following on the webpack.main.config.ts to get zeromq to load up properly on the main thread side.

externals: {
zeromq: 'zeromq',
path: 'path', // <- is this right?
fs: 'fs', // <- is this right?
net: 'net', // <- is this right?
},
How do I tell webpack to include fs, path, process, os node.js default packages for the renderer?
(just copying the above to webpack.renderer.ts over didn't work. )-:

Thank you @alexander-akait

I have already given an answer earlier that you can't just use Node.js modules in renderer, renderer is a browser like place
