web app build failing

[rhodey]

The web app used to be built with bankai which makes use of browserify. sodium-universal has a bug and is a dependency of hypercore and hyperdb.

I was able to temporarily workaround the "Cannot find module ./crypto_auth" bug by pinning hypercore's hypercore-crypto dependency to v2.1.0:

b05f650#diff-b861012a5dd72b8a9f3281b7cf09f5a779c98569d040b1bbc1db50f1b15e7cceR22

Moving onward I have uncovered two more issues, the first is that I cannot manage to get bankai and babel working together in order to deal with this use of the JavaScript spread operator in hypercore:

opts = { ...opts }
https://github.com/hypercore-protocol/hypercore/blob/master/index.js#L1265

After rewriting that one line to use Object.assign() the bankai start command succeeds and I am able to test the web app using localhost 8080, unfortunately bankai build fails to bundle the app with the following error:

scripts:browserify.bundle Can't walk dependency graph: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/home/rhodey/dev/dsp/radiowitness/web/worker_threads'
    required by /home/rhodey/dev/dsp/radiowitness/web/node_modules/sodium-universal/memory.js
Error: Can't walk dependency graph: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/home/rhodey/dev/dsp/radiowitness/web/worker_threads'
    required by /home/rhodey/dev/dsp/radiowitness/web/node_modules/sodium-universal/memory.js

This is unexpected because sodium-javascript appears to be using the package.json "browser" tag correctly to omit worker_threads from browser bundling:

"browser": {
    "crypto": false,
    "worker_threads": false
}

https://github.com/sodium-friends/sodium-javascript/blob/master/package.json#L28

So, two things to track down:

1. bankai with babel-plugin-transform-object-rest-spread?
2. bankai not respecting "browser" tag?

abandoned bankai for browserify + watchify, web app building again.
