Cannot read property 'crypto' of undefined

[jvandyke-dev]

Hey guys,

I'm getting a

Cannot read property 'crypto' of undefined

error in my Angular/Node.js project written in TypeScript. I looked in object_hash.js:1 and my guess would be it's coming from the line
r.crypto&&crypto.getRandomValues

I'm totally new to Angular and Node and have no idea how to handle this. I've "npm install"-ed both object-hash and @types/object-hash. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. No luck.

When I open a new folder somewhere else and just try hash( [1, 'hello world'], { algorithm: 'sha512' }) and logging it to the console, it seems to work just fine. There's no problem in my project until it hits the line console.log(hash([string1, string2], { algorithm: 'sha512' })); Any help here?

I should also mention that in a previous non-Angular project, it all worked just fine. I had at the top import hash from 'object-hash';, but now I've had to import * as hash from 'object-hash'; due to a

Module can only be default-imported using the 'allowSyntheticDefaultImports' flag

error. Please help! This might be a super-simple fix, but I have no idea how to fix this.

Same here.

I have a feeling that this is Angular 8 problem, I started getting this as well after upgrade.

Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

Same - updated from Angular 6 to 8 and now have this issue.

Update:

See this here for some explanation. Angular is preventing this from working, as its not a web standard yet
