Javascript Problem Overview


Oke, I upgraded Angular from 6 to 8. But I stil get errors.

I found on internet a solution that for a lot of users helped. But in this case it doesn't helped me.

So my package.json file looks like this:

And my b tsconfig.json file looks like this:

{
  "compileOnSave": false,
  "compilerOptions": {

  },
   "angularCompilerOptions": {
     "enableIvy": false

}

But I still get these errors:

I found a possible solution, that you have to put some configuration in one of the node_modules. But I think that is not a good solution. Because if you remove all the imports and then install again the imports your configurations are gonde.

Thank you

Oke, I removed the

 "fs": "0.0.1-security",

I deleted all the packes(node_modules) and did a npm install.

But now I get this:

Javascript Solutions


Solution 1 - Javascript

The error is because of angular-cli does not support modules in node like "fs" and "path". (Issue)

Add the following to the root of the "package.json" file.

"browser": {
  "fs": false,
  "path": false,
  "os": false
}

I hope this helps someone.

Thanks.

Solution 2 - Javascript

For me the solution was to add this to the webpack config:

config.node = {
  fs: 'empty',
}

Another solution if you use NuxtJS:

// Build Configuration: https://go.nuxtjs.dev/config-build
build: {
    extend(config, {}) {
        config.node = {
            fs: 'empty'
        }
    }
},

If you use NextJS (not tested, please confirm that it works in comments):

webpack: (config, { buildId, dev, isServer, defaultLoaders, webpack }) => {
  config.node = {
    fs: 'empty'
  }
  return config
},

In other cases, please refer to Anjana Silva post. An edit of your package.json file can do the job!

Solution 3 - Javascript

For Webpack > 5
update webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
    ...
    resolve: {
        fallback: {
            "fs": false
        },
    }
}

Can't resolve 'fs' when bundle with webpack #447

Solution 4 - Javascript

tl;dr

For people transpiling for Node.js: add target: node to the webpack.config.js file.

Explanation

I know this is an Angular question but those who are transpiling for Node.js have to keep in mind that by default, Webpack transpiles for browser targets, where you don't have modules provided only by Node.js. If your environment where you will be running the transpiled code is indeed Node.js then just mark it in the config file with target: node.

Solution 5 - Javascript

Just add {node:'empty'} to your webpack.config file.

Solution 6 - Javascript

For NextJS 12: next.config.js

module.exports = (phase, { defaultConfig }) => {
  return {
    ...defaultConfig,

    webpack: (config) => {
      config.resolve = {
        ...config.resolve,
        fallback: {
          "fs": false,
          "path": false,
          "os": false,
        }
      }
      return config
    },
  }
}

Solution 7 - Javascript

I was getting the same error, but it was due to my mistake, since I am using axios for a network request, but a some point in my app I typed redirect and pressed enter and my code completion imported the 'import {redirect} from "next/dist/next-server/server/api-utils";' Removing this line allowed me to continue with 'next build'.

See this link for reference: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/9768

Solution 8 - Javascript

I'm using Nuxt.JS What worked for me was using @thisismyname solution, and adding it to nuxt.config.js, like this:

// Build Configuration: https://go.nuxtjs.dev/config-build
build: {
    extend(config, {}) {
        config.node = {
            fs: 'empty'
        }
    }
},

Solution 9 - Javascript

Can you try these steps?

  1. Delete node_modules
  2. Delete package-lock.json
  3. Remove "fs": "0.0.1-security" from package.json
  4. npm install --save

Solution 10 - Javascript

For those who are using react or next js. It might happen due to an auto import for json from express!

import { json } from 'express'

So, just make sure that this line was not auto imported.

Solution 11 - Javascript

I have the same issue. But after renaming a folder of mine from c# to csharp, the problem gone.

Solution 12 - Javascript

For Laravel Mix (^4.0), i solved with:

mix.webpackConfig({
    "node": {
        fs: 'empty',
    }
});

in webpack.mix.js

Solution 13 - Javascript

An issue I've encountered was someone added node to the tsconfig.spec.json.

Removing that resolved the issue.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
     "types": [
        ...
        "node", // Remove this line
     ]
  }
}

Solution 14 - Javascript

its webpack behavior for non react app and you need to add any error returns to external object in webpack config. for me both 'react-native-fs' and 'fs' itself have been showing in error logs. add these then rebuild externals: { 'react-native-fs': 'reactNativeFs', 'fs': 'reactNativeFs'}

Solution 15 - Javascript

For those who are at lost like me, just place the code below, before "scripts",

"browser": {
    "fs": false,
     "path": false,
     "os": false
 }

Solution 16 - Javascript

Add somewhere close to the bottom directly above

devtool: options.devtool ...

node: { fs: 'empty' },

This will cause the webpack to ignore fs dependencies.

i.e.

resolve: {
    modules: ['app', 'node_modules'],
    extensions: [
      '.js',
      '.jsx',
      '.react.js',
    ],
    mainFields: [
      'browser',
      'jsnext:main',
      'main',
    ],
  },
  node: { fs: 'empty' },
  devtool: options.devtool,
  target: 'web', // Make web variables accessible to webpack, e.g. window
  performance: options.performance || {},
});

Solution 17 - Javascript

For anyone using laravel 8 with laravel-mix ^5

mix.webpackConfig({
    resolve: {
        fallback: { fs: false }
    }
});

This one is for webpack < 5 : mix.webpackConfig({ node: { fs: 'empty', } })

add this on your webpack.mix.js

Solution 18 - Javascript

For the Electron's renderer process, change your target in the webpack config file like this:

target: 'electron-renderer'

for more about target option of webpack for the Electron, refer to this page: https://webpack.js.org/configuration/target/

Solution 19 - Javascript

Use fs server-side so if you're using NextJS you can use it in functions such as getStaticProps.
