How to use node_compat = true with cloudflare pages ?
I know that there is a flag nodejs_compat, but it's not as powerful as node_compat = true , nice nodejs_compat isn't gonna polyfill modules such as fs or os
How could I use node_compat = true with a cloudflare pages (not worker) project ?
Can I do it directly with the cloudflare UI/Dashboard ?

I don't believe that you can today, at least not easily. You could maybe build your own
_worker.js with it... but it's not going to be straightforward since this is done at build time.Yes, building my own "_worker.js" would be pretty hard since I use a front-end framework (SvelteKit)
however, the module I use for postgres needs those node.js modules : https://github.com/porsager/postgres/tree/cloudflare
Is that something that they should fix on their own side ?

He commited something that is supported by Cloudflare Workers (with node_compat = true), but if it's only supported with a legacy flag that isn't working with nodejs_compat (the new flag), is it a real support ?
And do you think that it would be possible for him to have something working with nodejs_compat instead of node_compat = true ?

Support for Cloudflare Workers by porsager · Pull Request #599 · po...
Initial support for using Postgres.js in Cloudflare Workers (tcp support was just released today).
Ideally it wouldn't require
node_compat, yeah. Or even nodejs_compat. But that's going to be quite difficult. A better short-term approach might be to convince wrangler pages to support the older node_compat polyfills to better support these kind of libraries.
You might open an issue on the workers-sdk repo about this if there's not one already.So I should open an issue on
workers-sdk ?
I can try but if it's an older flag, maybe they are looking to deprecate it somehow
I'll also contact the SQL driver's module to check with him if it would be easy to reach a higher level of compatibilityI'd open a discussion about it at least, yeah - supporting it in
pages command should be pretty easy, and if it unblocks using libraries like this, it seems like a good idea to me.Yes, I made a suggestion, but since my projects deploys with GitHub, it would also be great to have it working with cloudflare's web UI
I had the same question. CF hasn't added postgres support in Pages yet unless we add the polyfills ourselves
