pg-native - How to bundle?

[rentrop]

Importing pg.Client via var Client = require('pg').Client; throws the following error:

Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'pg-native' in .../node_modules/pg/lib/native
@ ./~/pg/lib/native/index.js 9:13-33

How can i fix this? I found the following somewhat related Issues/answers

1. How to handle require(<local dir>) serverless/serverless-runtime-babel#8 by @thenikso
2. Can this package be bundled with Webpack for a Node project? brianc/node-postgres#1187

System-Info:

.babelrc
{
"plugins": ["transform-runtime"],
"presets": ["es2015", "stage-0"],
"ignore": [
"node_modules/pg/lib/native/",
"node_modules/pg/lib/native/index.js",

webpack.config.js
Sames as in https://github.com/elastic-coders/serverless-webpack/blob/master/examples/babel/webpack.config.js

I'll soon work on a peace of software which uses pg-promise that also imports pg-native. I fixed this some time ago but it probably needs refinement. As it was I had this in the resolve section of my webpack.config.js:

   alias: {
      'pg-native': path.join(__dirname, 'aliases/pg-native.js'),
      'pgpass$': path.join(__dirname, 'aliases/pgpass.js'),
    },

And the files are:

// alias/pg-native.js
export default null;

// alias/pgpass.js
'use strict';

var fs = require('fs')
  , helper = require( 'pgpass/lib/helper.js' )
;


module.exports.warnTo = helper.warnTo;

module.exports = function(connInfo, cb) {
    var file = helper.getFileName();

    fs.stat(file, function(err, stat){
        if (err || !helper.usePgPass(stat, file)) {
            return cb(undefined);
        }

        var st = fs.createReadStream(file);

        helper.getPassword(connInfo, st, cb);
    });
};

Perfect, thanks.

While pg-promise fully supports pg-native, the real performance gain is negligible, especially under the new versions of Node.js

Another solution (if using webpack), is to add new webpack.IgnorePlugin(/^pg-native$/) to your webpack config's plugins array. E.g.

const webpackConfig = {
  ...
  resolve: { ... },
  plugins: [
    new webpack.IgnorePlugin(/^pg-native$/)
  ]
  output: { ... }
  ...
}

For those experiencing this using serverless-bundle, and not wanting to migrate to serverless-webpack for their project. I have made this package for now: "serverless-bundle-no-pg-native": "1.3.0" which applies @thenikso's fix to the serverless-bundle repo. This will allow you to deploy your lambda function using pg by swapping the serverless-bundle plugin to serverless-bundle-no-pg-native

You can check the diff at https://github.com/aychtang/serverless-bundle. I will not be maintaining this so it will stay at the current version of serverless-bundle, but I thought it'd be useful to share if people are doing some small projects and want to save some time.

TLDR:

• npm i serverless-bundle-no-pg-native --save-dev.
• Change plugin used in serverless.yml to serverless-bundle-no-pg-native.
• Accept you are using a mid 2019 version of serverless-bundle

Just came across this, if you're using serverless-bundle, add this to your serverless.yml

custom:
  bundle:
    ignorePackages:
      - pg-native

See: https://www.npmjs.com/package/serverless-bundle#pg

that works for me, thanks

If you are using Webpack 5 the API of IgnorePlugin changed so @adieuadieu's code needs a little tweak.

const { IgnorePlugin } = require('webpack');

module.exports = {
	plugins: [
		new IgnorePlugin({
			resourceRegExp: /^pg-native$/,
		}),
	],
};

Thanks. Saved my day

If you are using serverless-esbuild, add this to your serverless.yml:

custom:
  esbuild:
    exclude:
      - pg-native

See: https://www.npmjs.com/package/serverless-esbuild#configuration

You're the best! Thank you!
