neo4j-driver in electron apps

Hello,

I tried to use the (very cool) neo4j-driver within an electron app. http://electron.atom.io/ and faced this error:

Uncaught Error: Don't know how to send buffer: NodeBuffer( position=0 )60 60 b0 17 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

I found a possible solution for that:

If you change the order of the first two if blocks here:
L65 in connector.js

to:

var Channel = undefined;
if (_chNode2["default"].available) {
  Channel = _chNode2["default"].channel;
}else if (_chWebsocket2["default"].available) {
  Channel = _chWebsocket2["default"].channel;
}else {
  throw (0, _error.newError)("Fatal: No compatible transport available. Need to run on a platform with the WebSocket API.");
}

It works perfectly.

If changing the order of the if-blocks doesn't interfere with anything else, I would suggest to change them in ordner to make the driver working in electron apps.

Would love this change. The native node implementation is significantly faster in my testing than the websocket implementation.

Hello @synergeticon, @rvazarkar.

Fix for this issue was merged into 1.1 branch. It'll be released with the next 1.1 milestone and mid January with 1.1.0 stable. I'll write an update when this happens.

Thanks for your input!
