How to initialize this client in Nuxt.js?

[IcyFoxe]

I've been trying and searching for answers for two evenings now and I still can't figure it out.

When I try to initialize this client in db.ts file either in root folder or in plugins folder, I always receive the ReferenceError: Buffer is not defined error. I understand that Buffer is a function of Node, but I'm not sure why it cannot be reached.

I logged globalThis.Buffer within the plugin file and see that it IS available, so why can't this client access it?
Any help would be much appreciated.
