Angular 19 Compatibility issue

[rcrafael]

After upgrading from Angular 18 to 19, I got issue in the ng2-pdf-viewer dependency PDFJS-DIST.
I already tried removing the caret(^) and downgrading this ng2-pdf-viewer from 10.4.0 to 10.2.2 (which is working in angular 18 previously) but still got the same error from the pdfjs-dist after serving the angular app.

anyone run into the same issue? or someone know the fix for this?

it seems to be angular-cli fault: angular/angular-cli#29077
I see they're working on a patch already

@rcrafael A workaround is to add the packages to the externalDependencies array in the build options, e.g.:
"externalDependencies": [ "http", "https", "url", "util", "fs" ]

I think this can be closed, the angular change above was merged and will presumably be released soon. The above only happens in certain situations I believe anyway.

Compatibility between Angular 18 and v10.4 of this package is covered in a separate issue already.

i have tried this workaround but i got different error after serving the application.

for the time being you can downgrade the @angular-devkit/build-angular to 19.0.3

actually, i ended up downgrading to angular 18, i will wait for the version 19 to be stable.

thank for the response
