Socket.io-client integration

In the process of building a chat app with your package & socket.io-client.

Everything works great until I install socket.io-client and then webpack can’t complete the build anymore. The error I get is:

/Users/..../Documents/mouseTracker2/_tests/v3/node_modules/webpack-target-electron-renderer/node_modules/webpack/lib/ExternalModuleFactoryPlugin.js:37
                                        if(externals === dependency.request) {
                                                                   ^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'request' of undefined

Any idea of what’s going on? I tried installing the types for socket.io-client with no luck. Is this a webpack-target-electron-renderer issue or a typescript issue.

Thanks in advance for your help.

webpack 2 has built-in support for electron, so you should never use this module with webpack 2.
