sqlite3 database opening in Electron - electron

Question

I have no problems in importing sql3 in my Electron-React-Typescript-Webpack app:
import sqlite3 from 'sqlite3';
But when I add these lines in main.ts :
const sql3_cb = () => {
console.log("Welcome to sql3");
}
app.on('ready', async () => {
createMainWindow();
const infopiecesSqliteDb = new sqlite3.database(
path.join(app.getPath('userData'), '/infopiecessql3db'),
sql3_cb,
);
}
when running the app I get the following errors (complete backtrace):

It looks like the errors are related to node-pre-gyp and / or webpack configuration.
But I do not understand how to fix them.
