How do you import a package in Node.js that is "only available in the browser"?
In a react app, I want to import fileTypeFromBlob from file-type. The function is not actually being imported because it's only available in the browser. This is made clear in the docs, but it also comes up in this issue.

S3 file upload via GraphQL or REST?
Main reasons are to give you more control over exactly what is uploaded, such as checking magic numbers for file types, instead of assuming they match their extension, or having more fine-tuned control over rate limiting.

How to detect file type in JavaScript without checking its file object type?
I want instead focus on the file-type library. This library applies the magic numbers approach to the ArrayBuffer of the file for detecting its type. It works with a large amount of different file types.

Wild Wild Path - Object property paths with wildcards and regexps
This project is also similar to the dozens of libraries out there for deep properties, such as [get-value](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/get-value) or [dot-prop](https://github.com/sindresorhus/dot-prop), but those do not allow wildcards or regular expressions. Also, with obj?.prop syntax becoming now available, those libraries are becoming less useful (except for setting values).
