my problem is how to import nools with webpack

Answer 1

It looks like nools needs the fs module to read a file from disk if a file path (rather than the source string itself) is passed to nools.compile().

Assuming your browser-based usage of nools in your webpack project never passes a *.nools string to nools.compile(), then fs.readFileSync() is never called, so you can force webpack to resolve require('fs') to an empty object by adding this to your webpack config:

node: {
  fs: 'empty'
}

See webpack's documentation of the node options: 1.x / 2.x
