Using node-gdal in electron

[oliTF]

System

node: 14.16.1
system: win10
electron: 12.0.4
node-gdal: 0.10.1

Problem

After installing and requiring with var gdal = require("gdal");, a cannot find module error appears:

Uncaught Error: Cannot find module '...\electron-quick-start\node_modules\gdal\lib\binding\electron-v12.0-win32-x64\gdal.node'

    at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1078)

After installation, the gdal.node is found in followin path ...\electron-quick-start\node_modules\gdal\lib\binding\node-v83-win32-x64.

I followed this issue #219 with using node-gdal 0.10.1, but I could not resolve the issue. Does it have to do something with https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp? When installing, the following warning appears:

How can this problem be resolved?

[hail-kang]

gdal is a native module. See the link below.
https://www.electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/using-native-node-modules

However, even if you proceed as described in the link, problems arise.

Maybe you can try gdal3. js. I haven't thoroughly tested its functionality yet, but at least it can be installed。
