Critical dependency: require function is used in a way in which dependencies cannot be statically extracted

See original GitHub issue

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

I get the above error on npm start I installed react-pdf as mentioned in the docs.

"react": "^16.8.6",
"react-dom": "^16.8.6",
"react-router-dom": "^5.0.0",
"react-scripts": "2.1.8"

above is the structure of package.json and I installed react-pdf version 4.1.0

I used create-react-app to make the app.

My full workaround. Create a file at the root called config-overrides.js and it should contain the following: module.exports = function override(config) { config.module.rules[0].parser.requireEnsure = true return config };

After that npm i react-app-rewired to you app and change your build function in package.json to read react-app-rewired build/react-app-rewired start. That should do it for now.
