[AC-5077] Ti 6.x cannot install full nodejs module

I am trying (really hard) to install a fairly important npm package. I would like to install *web3* into my mobile App project. (uses core node.js modules) However I am having issues with accessing it without having a bunch of red screens saying "couldn't find module: url for architecture: x86_64". I tried to manually update the paths etc; What I've done is in my App folder: {noformat} npm install web3 {noformat} Then I see the node_modules folder in my App directory... however, I am not able to require the module in my index.js file with a simple:

var Web3 = require('web3'); // throws error
var web3 = new Web3();

function doClick(e) {
    var version = web3.version.api;
    $.label.text = "Web3 version: " + version;
}

$.index.open();

Now I've pasted the folder from the node_modules into a lib I created under App folder, and tried to access the dist within that to access web3.min, then tried a whole lot of other things, with no luck... has anybody else had such issue or have a solution? Adam Paxtom has mentioned that: "The Node.js support, at least currently, appears to be best suited for standalone js libraries." I hope there isn't much need for convincing this issue aught to be a high priority.
