JavaScript heap out of memory

[ichko]

Hi,
I am trying to use your library in the browser and while building the project I get:

...
FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory
...
Aborted (core dumped)
npm ERR! code 134

I am using webpack for bundling and as I const mnist = require('mnist') I get the error.
I even tried loading dynamically with webpack:

  import(
    /* webpackChunkName: "mnist" */
    /* webpackMode: "lazy" */
    /* webpackPrefetch: false */
    /* webpackPreload: false */
    'mnist'
  ).then(mnist => {
    console.log('mnist');
  });

but this leads to the same error.

It would be nice if this package provides a way to load the dataset asynchronously in the browser.
