Describe the bug Presumably other setups too.

The level package is now on v8 and this package is using v6. Presumably upgrading level would fix things.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install this package with Node 18 & PNPM

Expected behavior It installs.

I just upgraded the package-lock version and the packages. Can you please check if this helped? Upgrading to v8 will be more work as there were a lot of breaking changes.

Encountering the same issue with release 0.1.2 on Node v16.19.0 & pnpm 7.18.2

I'm getting this issue too. node v21.0.0, npm 10.2.1, node-gyp 9.4.0

[aogriffiths]

The issue is fixed in level v8 but y-level is still using v6. Until that's fixed you can try overriding in you package.json.

rpm i works:

{
  "name": "works",
  "dependencies": {
   "level": "^8.0.0",
    "y-leveldb": "^0.1.2",
    "y-websocket": "^1.5.0",
    "yjs": "^13.6.8"
  },
  "overrides": {
    "y-leveldb": {
      "level": "$level"
    }
  }
}

rpm i fails:

{
  "name": "fails",
  "dependencies": {
    "y-leveldb": "^0.1.2",
    "y-websocket": "^1.5.0",
    "yjs": "^13.6.8"
  }
}
