Just got this error importing the openfga sdk into Node 20.

**BREAKING CHANGE: webpack \< 5 used to include polyfills for node.js core modules by default.**  
**This is no longer the case. Verify if you need this module and configure a polyfill for it.**  **If you want to include a polyfill, you need to:**  
**- add a fallback ‘resolve.fallback: { “http”: require.resolve(“stream-http”) }’**  
**- install ‘stream-http’**  
**If you don’t want to include a polyfill, you can use an empty module like this:**  
**resolve.fallback: { “http”: false }**

Hi @stephenbawks1, as the SDK uses the builtin Node.js http module, you’ll need to instruct webpack to use a polyfill for it. You can do this by installing the [stream-http](https://www.npmjs.com/package/stream-http) library and then telling webpack to use it as a fallback using the [resolve.fallback](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/resolve/#resolvefallback) option in your webpack configuration.

Just to note that the SDK is more intended for use within server side runtimes so make sure that using it in a browser might not be ideal given the use of a client secret.
