A tiny hint maybe: it looks like pouchdb uses es6 module syntax
https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/blob/master/packages/node_modules/pouchdb/src/pouchdb.js
and this is presumably compiled via babel - so the way that require works
might be funky. Dunno though. Either way, I'd see if PouchDB here is
actually an object with, say a "default" property whose value is the
PouchDB constructor. console.log will probably help you here.
Good luck!
