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

[GiancarlosIO]

From Brooooooklyn/snappy#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/@napi-rs+snappy-darwin-arm64@7.1.1/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/@napi-rs+snappy-darwin-arm64@7.1.1/node_modules/@napi-rs/snappy-darwin-arm64/snappy.darwin-arm64.node
../../node_modules/.pnpm/snappy@7.1.1/node_modules/snappy/index.js
../../node_modules/.pnpm/winston-loki@6.0.6/node_modules/winston-loki/src/batcher.js
../../node_modules/.pnpm/winston-loki@6.0.6/node_modules/winston-loki/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

[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. #131 (comment)

Removing snappy is working for me with NextJS: development...qcasey:winston-loki:development.

bun add git@github.com:qcasey/winston-loki.git#db13b4e83c8f7a66306e5bcfb1cc6192cabbd8dc and off to the races

	A Grafana Loki transport for the nodejs logging library Winston.
	## Usage
	This Winston transport is used similarly to other Winston transports. Require winston and define a new LokiTransport() inside its options when creating it.
	### [Examples](./examples/)
	Several usage examples with a test configuration for Grafana+Loki+Promtail reside under [`examples/`](./examples/). If you want the simplest possible configuration, that's probably the place to check out. By defining `json: true` and giving `winston-loki` the correct `host` address for Loki is enough for most.
	### Options
	LokiTransport() takes a Javascript object as an input. These are the options that are available, __required in bold__:
	| **Parameter** | **Description** | **Example** | **Default** |
	| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------- | -----------------------| ------------- |
	| __`host`__ | URL for Grafana Loki | http://127.0.0.1:3100 | null |
	| `interval` | The interval at which batched logs are sent in seconds | 30 | 5 |
	| `json` | Use JSON instead of Protobuf for transport | true | false |
	| `batching` | If batching is not used, the logs are sent as they come | true | true |
	| `clearOnError` | Discard any logs that result in an error during transport | true | false |
	| `replaceTimestamp` | Replace any log timestamps with Date.now() | true | false |
	| `labels` | custom labels, key-value pairs | { module: 'http' } | undefined |
	| `format` | winston format (https://github.com/winstonjs/winston#formats) | simple() | undefined |
	| `gracefulShutdown` | Enable/disable graceful shutdown (wait for any unsent batches) | false | true |
	| `timeout` | timeout for requests to grafana loki in ms | 30000 | undefined |
	| `basicAuth` | basic authentication credentials to access Loki over HTTP | username:password | undefined |
	| `onConnectionError`| Loki error connection handler | (err) => console.error(err) | undefined |
	### Example
	With default formatting:
	```js
	const { createLogger, transports } = require("winston");
	const LokiTransport = require("winston-loki");
	const options = {
	...,
	transports: [
	new LokiTransport({
	host: "http://127.0.0.1:3100"
	})
	]
	...
	};
	const logger = createLogger(options);
	```
	You can set custom labels in every log as well like this:
	```js
	logger.debug({ message: 'test', labels: { 'key': 'value' } })
	```
	TODO: Add custom formatting example

Step 2: ⌨️ Coding

• Create src/snappyLoader.js ✓ 6926d0a 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 ✓ e2dadcf Edit

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`.

• 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.
