Error: Cannot find module 'bufferutil' during browserify

See original GitHub issue

npm list:

├─┬ angular-websocket@2.0.1
│ └─┬ ws@1.1.1
│   ├── options@0.0.6
│   └── ultron@1.0.2

App.js

(function() {
  var angular_websocket;

  angular_websocket = require('angular-websocket');

}).call(this);

Command browserify app.js -o bundle.js gives:

Fixed with npm install bufferutil utf-8-validate, and I suspect this issue is probably not within the scope of angular-websockets to fix. Should these actually be dependencies of ws or does it make sense for these to be dependencies of this project directly?

If your client is in browser you can use my fork to resolve this issue. npm i jacek-jaskolski/angular-websocket --save
