The `fs-constants` package provides a unified and compatible way to access file system constants (like `O_RDONLY`, `S_IFMT`) across both Node.js and browser environments. It transparently handles the historical divergence and deprecation in Node.js, where `require('constants')` was replaced by `require('fs').constants`. For Node.js, it uses `require('fs').constants`, and for browser environments, it leverages `require('constants')`, which bundlers often polyfill or provide. Currently at version 1.0.0, it is a stable, low-maintenance utility designed to abstract away environment-specific constant imports, enabling more portable code for file system operations. Its primary differentiator is resolving this specific Node.js API evolution and ensuring browser compatibility for `fs` flags without complex conditional logic in application code.

Demonstrates how to import and access the file system constants provided by the package.
Use `require('fs').constants` in Node.js or `fs-constants` for cross-environment compatibility.Ensure your build setup (e.g., Webpack, Browserify) correctly bundles and provides shims for Node.js `constants` when targeting the browser.
Ensure your browser build process correctly shims Node.js globals, or use `require('fs-constants')` for cross-environment compatibility. In Node.js, prefer `require('fs').constants` or `fs-constants`.If in an ESM file, either use a bundler that handles CJS imports, or dynamically import with `import('fs-constants').then(module => module.constants)` (though `require` is generally preferred for this CJS package).No dependency data recorded yet.
