Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the webpack compilation error in a browser-targeted project that uses react-docgen, then trace where the fs dependency is included. Done means the project compiles without requiring the reported manual node.fs configuration.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

For webpack project, using the react-docgen cause compiling errors because fs is not available in browser environment. I have to add:

{
  node: {
    fs: 'empty'
  }
}
