I had found a similar issue, but sorry, I don't know how it is resolved

#848

Thanks for your help.

You can't use better-sqlite3 in a browser. You need to do whatever vue tells you how to run server-only code (assuming this is even a SSR project). Like #848 said this is not an issue with better-sqlite3.
