cheerio dependency breaks browserify compatibility since juice@7.0.0

[manosKas]

Summary

Starting with juice@7.0.0, the package is no longer browserify-compatible due to changes in the cheerio dependency. Up to juice@6.0.0, everything works fine in the browser when bundling with Browserify.

Details

• juice@6.0.0 uses cheerio@0.x, which is CommonJS and compatible with Browserify.
• From juice@7.0.0 onward, the package depends on cheerio@1.x, which:
  • Uses ESM
  • Requires Node built-ins like node:stream
  • Fails in Browserify with errors like:

    Error: Can't walk dependency graph: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '.../node:stream'
    

Use Case

I'm using Juice to inline CSS for rendering HTML emails in a browser-based email client. This worked great with juice@6.0.0, but updating breaks bundling completely.

Suggested Actions

• Document this breaking change more explicitly in the README and changelog.
• Consider publishing a legacy browser-compatible build or offering an ESM/browser build via juice/client.

Temporary Workaround

Downgrading to juice@6.0.0 restores Browserify compatibility.
