Unable to connect to the database: TypeError: net.Socket is not a constructor

I'm trying to connect to a postgres database (Postgresql-11) within my
nodejs-vue.js app, but in console I'm getting this error:

[HMR] Waiting for update signal from WDS...

nano pg.js

const { Pool } = require('pg');
const { Sequelize } = require('sequelize');
const pool = new Pool();
const sequelize = new Sequelize('pusers', 'postgres', 'pwd', {
host: 'localhost',
dialect: 'postgres',
pool: {
max: 5,
min: 0,
acquire: 30000,
idle: 10000
}
});
sequelize
.authenticate()
.then(() => {
console.log('Connection has been established successfully.');
})
.catch(err => {
console.log('Unable to connect to the database:', err);
});

module.exports = {
query: (text, params, callback) => {
return pool.query(text, params, callback);
},
}

Populated the sample database with a row:

pusers=# SELECT schemaname,relname,n_live_tup
pusers-# FROM pg_stat_user_tables
pusers-# ORDER BY n_live_tup DESC;
schemaname | relname | n_live_tup
------------+---------------+------------
public | pusers | 1
public | SequelizeMeta | 1
(2 rows)

I read here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40599069/node-js-net-socket-is-not-a-constructor
that
"there are no plain TCP sockets in the browser, so that is why trying to
use `net.Socket` in the browser (via webpack, browserify, etc.) won't work"
