Project would attempt to use native utils in the browser

[andrewgordstewart]

If I want to use @statechannels/native-utils in the browser, and I happen to not have rust installed locally, then this library will fallback to the bindings to the precompiled WASM. Everything will work.

If I want to use @statechannels/native-utils in the browser, and I happen to have rust installed locally, then this library will compile and create the neon bindings, and will then attempt to use a native binary in the browser. It won't work.

One solution is:

• the install script always attempts to create bindings to a native binary, if rust is present.

• the library uses the native binary if both:

  1. the environment a node environment and not a browser environment; and
  2. the bindings to a native binary is available
  • Otherwise, the library uses the bindings to the precompiled WASM
