angular2-electron Problem adding sqlite3 to project

Apologies if this is not directly related to angular2-electron, but I spent quite a bit of time looking for a fix and couldn't find one. I'm new to webpack and electron.

I tried adding sqlite3 to the project and requiring it:

npm install sqlite3 -S

app.ts

var sql=require("sqlite3")

but the build fails with a lot of warnings and finally an error, eg:

WARNING in ./~/sqlite3/lib/sqlite3.js

 @ ./~/sqlite3/lib/sqlite3.js 4:14-35

I am pretty sure this is something to do with sqlite3 having native code, but am not sure how to fix this in a webpack/electron build.

Any help/pointers appreciated.

@jugglingcats did you find any solution to this issue?

What I did is added sqlite3 to the externals in webpack configuration. But still doesn't work

@rdpascua did you find a solution for this? I did a project in electron with javascript requiring sqlite3. There was a lot of conflicts and I abandoned sqlite3 for [sql.js](https://github.com/kripken/sql.js) and [sync-sqlite](https://github.com/Spikef/sync-sqlite). Both work very well separately.

Now, I'm doing another project in electron and angular and requires sqlite but finding sql.js/sync-sqlite isues. I'll try sqlite3 tonight. What did you use?
