Node.js support
Firstly, to run loaders.gl on Node.js you want to import the @loaders.gl/polyfills module.
Also it is good to understand that loaders.gl avoids using Node.js specific APIs (such as Buffer, path, util, fs, streams etc) instead favoring browser compatible equivalents. loaders.gl is optimized for cross-platform compatible APIs.
However, if your goal is to write Node.js-idiomatic code rather than browser-portable code, you may find that working with loaders.gl can require some extra work.
Polyfills
To install these polyfills, just import the polyfills module before start using loaders.gl.
import '@loaders.gl/polyfills';
import {parse} from '@loaders.gl/core';
Combining with other Polyfills
loaders.gl only installs polyfills if the corresponding global symbol is undefined. This means that if another polyfill is already installed when @loaders.gl/polyfills is imported, the other polyfill will remain in effect. Since most polyfill libraries work this way, applications can mix and match polyfills by ordering the polyfill import statements appropriately (but see the remarks below for a possible caveat).
