Use Case

As a... Developer tools engineer
I want... to be able to bundle dependencies that use Node.js "node:" prefixed imports
So that... I can adopt libraries that use this newer syntax and use them in our compass-web bundle

Dev Experience

Currently webpack throws this error when a "node:" style import is used:

Module build failed: UnhandledSchemeError: Reading from "node:process" is not handled by plugins (Unhandled scheme).
Webpack supports "data:" and "file:" URIs by default.
You may need an additional plugin to handle "node:" URIs.
    at .../webpack/lib/NormalModule.js:1038:13

Instead we would expect the "alias" system to work and replace the "node:x" module with our own version of "x"

Reproduction

• Navigate into node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongo_client.js
• replace one of the built in modules, say "fs" with "node:fs"
• run npm compile in the packages/compass-web directory

It should fail with the above error

Risks/Unknowns

• Can this be fixed using the plugin system like the error mentions?
• Do we need to reimplement or can we reuse any part of the alias and bundling system for this?
• Is there any community solutions or issues related to this?

Acceptance Criteria

Implementation Requirements

• Verify that a dependency with "node:x" can be bundled by the compass web webpack config

Testing Requirements

• Validate the bundle is generated correctly, if we have built our own plugin look at what validations webpack tests for.
