Can't use sql.js

[screendriver]

I want to use sql.js and did a jspm install npm:sql.js. Installation ran without errors. At runtime my browser error console tells me

Error: XHR error (404 Not Found) loading http://localhost:3000/ws.js
    Error loading http://localhost:3000/ws.js as "ws" from http://localhost:3000/jspm_packages/npm/sql.js@0.2.21/js/sql.js

Unfortunately I don't know what this ws.js is for.

ws a node module not available in the browser.
Take a look at this issue in the sql.js repo.

Ok thank you. It seems that this is something like issue #1100 that I posted recently where a library (sass.js) reloads dynamically dependencies without requiring / importing it.

You can null out that dependency on install via jspm install npm:sql.js -o "{map: {ws: '@empty'}}". If that works, you can check that into the registry under package-overrides/npm/sql.js@x.y.z.json so others get the fix as well, or send a PR to sql.js to include the configuration in the original package.json file.

In the first step the error is gone. But after that I get a

uncaught exception: uncaught exception: TypeError: process.platform is undefined
    Evaluating http://localhost:3002/jspm_packages/npm/sql.js@0.2.21/js/sql.js
    Evaluating http://localhost:3002/jspm_packages/npm/sql.js@0.2.21.js
    Error loading http://localhost:3002/index.js

I believe this whole thing can only be fixed in sql.js directly like described here https://github.com/kripken/sql.js/issues/112

Sure, please post an issue at the jspm registry if you need further help with these overrides.
