Docs: Add a section to explain how to make it work with nextjs and/or webpack

From https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/snappy/issues/119

Hi there

I'm using nextjs and winston-loki which has snappy has a peerDependency, and I'm getting the following error:

error - ../../node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@napi-rs/snappy-darwin-arm64/snappy.darwin-arm64.node
Module parse failed: Unexpected character '�' (1:0)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently, no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders
(Source code omitted for this binary file)

Import trace for requested module:
../../node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@napi-rs/snappy-darwin-arm64/snappy.darwin-arm64.node
../../node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/snappy/index.js

../../packages/next/dist/logger/index.js
../../packages/next/logger/index.mjs
./src/views/Homepage/server/getServerSideProps.tsx
./src/views/Homepage/index.ts

I think the error is because nextjs/webpack doesn't know how to process a file with an extension .node. Maybe we can add, in the readme file, a section about how to fix this problem? 🤔 I have found this webpack-loader but I don't know if this is the recommended way.

Update1: After implementing the node-loader, now I get these errors:

Thanks.

SO: macOS package manager: pnpm v7.18.0 winston: "v3.8.2", winston-loki: "v6.0.6" snappy: 7.1.1

[JaniAnttonen]

Since upgrading or downgrading the snappy dependency has helped in the past, I'm wondering if the newest release might help with this. Please report back if you can :)

[JaniAnttonen]

Thus, might be related: #137 #131

[mkermani144]

Upgrading to latest doesn't seem to fix the issue. Tested with 6.0.8.

[qcasey]

Might want to create two different releases with/without optional snappy dependency in the future. https://github.com/JaniAnttonen/winston-loki/issues/131#issuecomment-1769047184

Removing snappy is working for me with NextJS: https://github.com/JaniAnttonen/winston-loki/compare/development...qcasey:winston-loki:development.

• [X] Create src/snappyLoader.js ✓ https://github.com/JaniAnttonen/winston-loki/commit/6926d0ae83469ad2dac3e14d3afc34fe13de1bd1 Edit

Create src/snappyLoader.js with contents:
• Create a new file `src/snappyLoader.js` to encapsulate the logic for conditionally loading `snappy`.
• Inside `src/snappyLoader.js`, export a function `loadSnappy` that tries to require `snappy` and catches any errors. If an error occurs, log a warning message indicating that `snappy` could not be loaded and that the library will fall back to JSON transport. Return `null` if `snappy` cannot be loaded.
• This approach allows `src/batcher.js` to attempt to load `snappy` in a safe manner, avoiding crashes in environments where `.node` files cannot be processed by Webpack.

Modify src/batcher.js with contents:
• Import the `loadSnappy` function from the newly created `src/snappyLoader.js`.
• Replace the direct call to `require('snappy')` in the `loadSnappy` method within `src/batcher.js` with a call to the imported `loadSnappy` function. This change ensures that `snappy` is loaded conditionally, avoiding the issue when running in environments like Next.js.
• Remove the try-catch block around the `require('snappy')` since the error handling will now be managed within `src/snappyLoader.js`.

• Add a new section titled "Using with Next.js and Webpack" after the "Usage" section.
• In this new section, explain that `winston-loki` can be used with Next.js and Webpack-based projects. Highlight that the library attempts to load `snappy` for performance but will fall back to JSON transport if `snappy` cannot be loaded, which may happen in some Webpack configurations.
• Mention that no additional Webpack configuration should be necessary for most users, but if issues arise related to `.node` files, users should ensure their Webpack version and configuration support loading of such files, or consider using the library in environments where native addons are supported.
• This update provides clarity and guidance for users attempting to integrate `winston-loki` with Next.js and Webpack, ensuring they are aware of potential issues and solutions.

+### Using with Next.js and Webpack
+`winston-loki` can be seamlessly integrated with Next.js and Webpack-based projects. The library attempts to load `snappy` for enhanced performance. However, in scenarios where `snappy` cannot be loaded, such as certain Webpack configurations that do not support `.node` files, `winston-loki` will automatically fall back to using JSON transport. This ensures compatibility across different environments without requiring additional configuration.
+
+For most users, no extra steps will be necessary to use `winston-loki` with Next.js and Webpack. However, if you encounter issues related to loading `.node` files, please ensure that your Webpack version and configuration are set up to support such files. Alternatively, consider using `winston-loki` in environments where native addons are supported, to leverage the full capabilities of the library.
