Angular cannot find module 'net'

Question

When I added a dependency in simple Angular CLI app

import {Socket} from 'net';

I get error when run 'ng start'

ERROR in C:/IdeaProjects/GethIPC/src/app/app.component.ts (5,20): Cannot find module 'net'

Answer 1

You are trying to import a node module - net , but it is not available in the browser. You'll need a socket for your client, eg socket.io but that of course depends on what you want to achieve.
