Is it possible to render in node.js using canvas/skia-canvas? I'm trying to do something like this but it complains about missing 'window':

main.mjs

import { Network } from 'vis-network';
import { DataSet } from 'vis-data';
import { Canvas } from 'skia-canvas';

const nodes = new DataSet([
  { id: 1, label: "Node 1" },
  { id: 2, label: "Node 2" },
  { id: 3, label: "Node 3" },
  { id: 4, label: "Node 4" },
  { id: 5, label: "Node 5" },
]);

// create an array with edges
const edges = new DataSet([
  { from: 1, to: 3 },
  { from: 1, to: 2 },
  { from: 2, to: 4 },
  { from: 2, to: 5 },
  { from: 3, to: 3 },
]);

// create a network
const container = new Canvas(400, 400);
const data = {
  nodes: nodes,
  edges: edges,
};
const options = {};
new Network(container, data, options);
await canvas.saveAs("graph.png", {density:2})
node_modules/vis-network/peer/umd/vis-network.js:26803
          if (window !== undefined) {
          ^

ReferenceError: window is not defined
