      As of NPM MongoDB version 3.X, it is no longer possible to build the library server-side. Many library source files in this version have a require syntax that now includes a function call passing (require) which makes the library impossible to build. Many projects use Webpack to build the server-side code. So at this point I would believe that a server-side build involving Webpack is no longer possible due to the syntax of the require function in many files in the library? I may be totally off here, not sure...

       

      It would seem the line of issue would be the following, which is located in many places such as connection/utils.js, core/utils.js, and core/index.js.:

      const require_optional = require('optional-require')(require);

       

      See error when trying to compile here:
