error when setting 'node: false' in webpack config

when i set node: false (to reduce bytes to transfer) in my webpack frontend config i get the error:

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'path' in '__REPLACED__/src/app/universalComponent'

this is because the code transformed by the plugin makes use of __dirname in the path key wich is disabled by node: false

transformed code:

Home: __WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_4_react_universal_component___default()(__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_2_babel_plugin_universal_import_universalImport_js___default()({
  ...
  path: () => __WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_0_path___default.a.join(__dirname, '../containers/Home'), <------ __dirname
  ...
})

its fixed when i set node to:

node = {
 Buffer: false,
 __dirname: true, // <------ note its enabled
 __filename: false,
 console: false,
 global: false,
 process: false,
};

instead of false

i am not sure if this can be “fixed” from your site but i think it would be good to add a note in one of the readmes of the coresponding repos like react-universal-component i could add a note - just let me kow to wich repos it should be added

i pulled the updated demo from scratch and it works now to set node: false without error dont worry i just wanted to report it back to you as i found it thank you a lot! closing then
