I'm trying to create a JupyterLab extension, it uses typescript.
I've successfully added the package "@types/node" allowing me to use packages such as 'require('http')'.
But as soon as I try to use child process, using 'require("child_process")' I get the following error when trying to build the extension.
ModuleNotFoundError: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'child_process' in '/home/fionn/anaconda3/envs/jupyterlab-ext/share/jupyter/lab/staging/node_modules/jupyerlab_xkdc/lib' at factory.create

I've googled around but still have no idea what to do to resolve this issue.
Any pointers or info at all would be greatly appreciated.
