aws-sdk-js: Cannot get aws-sdk working with Angular universal

Hi,

We use aws-sdk with an Angular 5 application. Until now everything worked great.

We are trying to add server side rendering using angular-universal. When trying to build the server application, like this : https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/stories-universal-rendering#building-the-bundle , we get these errors :

Please note that the client application still builds ok.

Thanks for your help.

Adding "types":["node"] to tsconfig.app.json file worked for me.

Hi @achelkia Maybe you can try remove the "types": [] from the tsconfig.server.json? Our readme does mention you need to either add node to type list or remove the entry. Another issue #1271 provides a workaround for similar issue.

Hi @AllanFly120, thanks for the answer. That was it, removing "types": [] or adding node did it for me. Thanks again.

In my case. I used global types and “types”:[“node”] inside tsconfig.app.json was overwriting “typeRoots” value inside tsconfig json. So the solution is as follows:

  1. 1 remove “types” from tsconfig.app.json
  2. Ensure that global types are declared inside tsconfig json as follows “typeRoots”: [“node_modules/@types”]
  3. IMPORTANT. Add browser: true settings. In my case it was inside polyfils.ts as (window as any).process = { browser: true //IMPORTANT for aws-sdk };

Angular 6, First I got the error while compiling :

ERROR in node_modules/aws-sdk/clients/acm.d.ts(133,37): error TS2304: Cannot find name ‘Buffer’

So as suggested in this post: I added "types": ["node"] to tsconfig.app.json

Project Compiled successfully.

But then it did open on browser. Got the error in console:

Uncaught ReferenceError: global is not defined

So as suggested in other issue on https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js/issues/678 added following line

// Add global to window, assigning the value of window itself.
(window as any).global = window;

got my app working

I see you did not install @types/node. Our type definition uses Buffer, stream types which are declared in @type/node. Just try npm -i -d @types/node
