pdf.js dependencies cannot be statically extracted

[cdpwest]

When running the example I run into the following warning:

./node_modules/pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.js
Critical dependency: require function is used in a way in which dependencies cannot be statically extracted

Which build tool are you using?

[mohammedri]

@agentcooper I am using creat-react-app which uses webpack and babel

Having the same issue on a project I'm working on, anyone got a fix for this yet?

Hi I am using webpack and yarn to build.

@mohammedri any overrides or customizations?

The example project works fine for me which uses create react app. It also works for me in the project I added this to. So I'm guessing this is either a version conflict or a configuration conflict.

If you are getting this error it would be super helpful if you paste your webpack config and output of npm ls in a pastebin or gist and link it here.

I found it. It comes from newer versions of react-scripts and using the default main export from pdfjs-dist. As in, doing this:

import {...} from 'pdfjs-dist';

its fixed by

import {...} from 'pdfjs-dist/lib/pdf.js';
