Once the next PDF.js release is made, the `webpack` example will no longer work since the non-translated builds now use ECMAScript features not supported by older `webpack`-versions.
Overview
Example to demonstrate PDF.js library usage with Webpack.
Getting started
Install the example dependencies and build the project:
$ gulp dist-install
$ cd examples/webpack
$ npm install
$ ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js
You can observe the build results by running gulp server and navigating to
http://localhost:8888/examples/webpack/index.html.
Refer to the main.js and webpack.config.js files for the source code.
Note that PDF.js packaging requires packaging of the main application and
the worker code, and the workerSrc path shall be set to the latter file.
Worker loading
If you are getting the Setting up fake worker warning, make sure you are
importing pdfjs-dist/webpack which is the zero-configuration method for
Webpack users. You will need to install
worker-loader as a
dependency in your project in order to use pdfjs-dist/webpack (configuring
worker-loader is not necessary; just installing it is sufficient).
import pdfjsLib from 'pdfjs-dist/webpack';
For a full working example refer to this repository.
