Using sqlite3 with react and typescript

[Juancard]

Hi, I've been trying to make sqlite3 work on the react-typescript example ((link)) and it doesn't seem to work, have any of you tried anything similar?

The steps to reproduce are as follows.

1. First, add a postinstall step in package.json:

"scripts": {
   "postinstall": "install-app-deps"
   ...
}

2. Install sqlite3 and builder

npm install --save-dev electron-builder
npm install --save sqlite3
npm run postinstall

3. Add these lines to src/main/index.ts

import sqlite3 from "sqlite3";
console.log(sqlite3); 

4. npm run dev

And then it throws the error:

[17:24:40] [@snowpack/plugin-typescript] 4:23:40 PM - Starting compilation in watch mode...
[electron] App threw an error during load
(...)
[electron] A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

Thanks in advance.

Hey, if this is still of interest to you, could you provide a bare-bones reproduction repository?
