Error when launching through angular

Hi,

I’m using isomorphic-git in browser through an Angular 7 project. I successfully installed the project with npm install --save isomorphic-git but when launching my project with ng serve I encouter the following error :

ERROR in node_modules/isomorphic-git/src/index.d.ts(13,11): error TS2580: Cannot find name 'Buffer'. Do you need to install type definitions for node? Try `npm i @types/node`.
node_modules/isomorphic-git/src/index.d.ts(115,13): error TS2580: Cannot find name 'Buffer'. Do you need to install type definitions for node? Try `npm i @types/node`.node_modules/isomorphic-git/src/index.d.ts(561,11): error TS2580: Cannot find name 'Buffer'. Do you need to install type definitions for node? Try `npm i @types/node`.

@types/node is already installed and I tried updating it does not solve my problem.

The error is thrown when I import isomorphic-git in my components : import { clone } from 'isomorphic-git'

Is it a known problem and do you know if the library is compatible with angular projects ?

Regards,

Romain.

Status update:

We’re much closer to working out-of-the-box with Angular 7! (Edit: the same steps apply for Angular 8.) Which is also means were closer to achieving #698.

I was able to get our demo app running locally with only the following modifications:

package.json

...
  "dependencies": {
...
    "buffer": "^5.2.1",
    "path-browserify": "^1.0.0"
  },
...

polyfills.ts

...
(window as any).global = window;
(window as any).process = {};
import { Buffer } from 'buffer';
(window as any).Buffer = Buffer;

tsconfig.json

...
    "lib": [
      "esnext.asynciterable",
...
    ]
...

src/tsconfig.app.json

...
  "compilerOptions": {
...
    "types": ["node"],
    "paths": {
      "path": ["node_modules/path-browserify"]
    }
  }
...

Only these changes are required with Angular 13:

package.json

"dependencies": {
  "buffer": "^6.0.3"
},
...

polyfills.ts

import { Buffer } from 'buffer';
(window as any).Buffer = Buffer;
