nodejs on windows / linux (attempting to deploy)

Describe the question

I'm attempting to package up my device communicator that uses aws-iot in a node app into a command line tool that can be deployed into a device linux environment and i'm having problems with WebPack. Is there anything special i have to do to get it to work?

My code completely works without running it through WebPack and WebPack builds and runs just fine if i exclude any of the AWS stuff so i think it has to do with the import of the AWS stuff.

Is there anything i need to do so that it will be able to pass through WebPack?

Can you try adding the aws-crt-nodejs to the package.json?

Using From Your Browser Application
You can either add it to package.json (if using a tool like webpack), or just import the dist.browser/ folder into your web project

It seems that the problem is in the way the binding is done... Has anybody used aws-iot-device-sdk-js-v2 with webpack?
Even adding

node: {
    __dirname: true
  }

webpack it's able to find the file but unable to load it.

Changing this to a feature request. This doesn't seem work currently so code changes, documentation, and an example need to be added.
