How to add pdf_ui_utils in angular 4 typescript project

Question

I'm trying to add text selection in PDFJS using the method renderTextLayer.

Base from this you need to add ui_util.js, though I'm not sure how to add it in an existing Angular 4 Typescript project.

I tried adding it in angular-cli.json like below

"scripts": [
  "../node_modules/pdfjs-dist/lib/web/ui_utils.js"
]

But it doesn't seem to work. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Your import to angurla-cli.json looks correct. To use external libraries you also need the typings for the library to make it available in your editor.

For that you have two possibilities:

Import the typings from DefinitelyTyped - if available
Make the library visible in your project by adding some code to typings.d.ts. I have described in a different thread how that can be done.

Hope this helps.

Actually, angular was able to load the js file, the problem is that it's loading it on the client side rather than the server, and throwing the error exports is not defined.
