[jira] [Created] (AVRO-3322) Buffer is not defined in browser environment

ruleeeer created AVRO-3322:
------------------------------

             Summary: Buffer is not defined in browser environment
                 Key: AVRO-3322
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3322
             Project: Apache Avro
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: js
         Environment: Firefox 96 & Brave 1.34(based on chromium)
            Reporter: ruleeeer


When I use avro in my browser, I find that I get the `Buffer is undefined error`

Later I traced the source code and found that Buffer is used directly in `/etc/browser/avro.js` and `/lib/schema.js`, which is not a problem in the node environment because the Buffer object is mounted globally, but it is a problem in the browser environment because using buffer polyfill will not mount the Buffer object globally, You need to  declare `var Buffer = require('buffer').Buffer` manually, so that it can be used in the browser environment without affecting the node environment, which also gets its Buffer from require('buffer').

I will submit a PR to fix this issue
