Allow bundling for browser without having to set PLATFORM_BROWSER: true with webpack about lightstep-tracer-javascript

[austinlparker]

Does this also happen if you import lightstep-tracer/browser? Not super familiar with Parcel.

No, but then I am using all the bundled dependencies in the browser bundle instead of letting the bundler resolve, deduplicate and tree-shake them, and giving me the power to update dependencies for security fixes like #136

[austinlparker]

Ahh, ok, huh. Yeah, I think this is a pretty sane request. I'm not really sure what the right way to go about doing this would be though - split the package into a browser and non-browser version (pre-minification)?

[felixfbecker]

package.json supports a browser field that is like a main field used when bundling for browsers. But it would require a bit of restructuring of the current code base with the platform abstraction.
