Webpack 4 build prevents pdf.js worker from running about react-pdf-highlighter HOT 11 CLOSED

Yea! looks good.

from react-pdf-highlighter.

Updating to 2.0.943 doesn't seem to help.

The browser console shows this error:

bootstrap:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: window is not defined

And the bash console shows this warning:

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

from react-pdf-highlighter.

@agentcooper I used your demo as is with a new project I created with create-react-app

I hacked it by installing the new version of pdfjs-dist and replacing the import of pdfjs in PdfLoader with:

import pdfjs from 'pdfjs-dist';
pdfjs.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = `//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdf.js/${ pdfjs.version }/pdf.worker.js`

@curiosity26 solved now?

It's not working for me with webpack 4 seems that pdfjs-dist wasn't updated is there a way to use the webpack 4 compatible version?

@z4m0 could you please try updating the version and see if this helps? If yes, I'll gladly accept a PR.
