Hi, just a quick question, when I install google-spreadsheet npm package I get these errors on compilation.

./node_modules/google-auth-library/build/src/auth/googleauth.js:21:24-48 - Error: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'child_process' in 'C:\Programming\ASAP_invoice_electron_angular_new\node_modules\google-auth-library\build\src\auth'

Any idea, how to fix this?

Please try above solutions and let us know the result.

@thamizh-qwerty I managed to get it working for the time being by adding "browser": {"child_process": false, etc.}" to every sub module under node_modules that requests the non-existent module. E.g. adding "browser": {"child_process": false, "fs": false}" to package.json under node_modules/google-auth-library etc. It works but this is a terrible solution since every time you delete the node_modules and do the npm install you have to do all the edits manually again. I'm sure there is a better way. If anyone knows how please let me know.
